Ok. It's a Firefox Add-on:

Questions:

1. But: Why can't i find it on the offical Firefox Add-ons site?: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/faq/

2. Did anyone audited the "HTTPS Everywhere" code?

The place to ask that question would be the mail list for HTTPS everywhere: https://mail1.eff.org/mailman/listinfo/https-everywhere

3. Can someone trust this Add-on? Is it safe to install/use?

Safe in the sense that you can trust the people who wrote it not to be distributing a trojan?

The EFF is behind it. They are about as trusted on this as anyone.

4. If it's so great why isn't it more prevalent?

See #1. ;)

Most of these question would be better addressed to the HTTPS everywhere maillist.
