Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.11-1
Severity: normal

My intuition says that although I can't be sure you will consider this 
a security bug, I will leave that decision to the maintainers.

Under the security warnings tab I have checked:
"Show a warning dialogue when:
 I submit informations that's not encrypted".

I rely on this dialogue as the best guarantee I can have that something 
I don't want sucked in to echelon's scope remains secure.

This works just fine within any of the tabs.  However, if you use the 
top-righthand side search engine bar and type in something and search 
with maybe Google or through Dictionary.com
1.) the security warning fails to show;
2.) but even worse, iceweasel sends data unencrypted regardless.

I know you're thinking that this isn't a big thing, and maybe, just 
maybe, in the grand scheme of things it's not.  However I'm of the 
philosophy that a security bug is a security bug, regardless of its 
order of magnitude.

I hope you find this useful.
