I don't know about a browser extension, but you might be able to install apache with mod_ssl, mod_proxy, and 
mod_rewrite locally then basically have it take care of everything.

What should this hypothetical extension do if it automagically redirects
http: to https:, but the target server is something that is only listening
on port 80 because it doesn't have https: enabled?

https://www.cnn.com just sorta sits there for me.
