We now have some infrastructure to update protocol handlers, cf. https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f9ad45c76ba50bdee54bebd14e6625ae14d4d085/uriloader/exthandler/HandlerService.js#235 .
We should use it to migrate any "old" http entries to the new https ones added in the deps in bug 1526890. This should fix the concern raised by Yahoo Japan in https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/firefox-dev/c/ZOxTG-hwPQQ .
I expect we should leave removed entries that are still in people's profiles (where there is no HTTPS equivalent) alone.

Ryan and Mike, how do we feel about taking stuff like this on ESR? (see https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/firefox-dev/c/ZOxTG-hwPQQ for context). The current state is not great, but it's going to be worse when the http version goes away. The annoying bit is going to be that I'll have to write some custom code for ESR as the UI migration versions are different and we can't "just" backport it...

If we can create a backport patch without too much risk, this seems like a worthwhile change to take, yes.

Yeah, I agree. Hopefully matching the UI versions should be a big deal.
