I was wondering the same thing when I first found HTTPS Everywhere. According to HTTPS Everywhere's FAQ [1], it's due to Mozilla's privacy policy: Q. Why isn't HTTPS Everywhere available for download from addons.mozilla.org like most other Firefox add-ons? A. We felt that the Mozilla privacy policy that applies to downloads from addons.mozilla.org is somewhat less protective than the privacy policies of the organizations that develop HTTPS Everywhere, and we prefer for HTTPS Everywhere users to be protected by our privacy policy. This decision could change in the future as Mozilla's privacy practices evolve or as we re-examine the details of the current Mozilla policy.
