 How does this differ from Encrypted Web (which still works fine even if it doesn't have a maintainer)

 Encrypted Web (or HTTPS Everywhere) uses a list of rules to determine if a website supports HTTPS and redirects your browser to the secure version of the page, if it exists. UIR Header tells the website you're visiting that you want the secure version and lets the site you're visiting choose how to respond.

 For an explanation of what Upgrade-Insecure-Requests does, check out <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31950470/what-is-the-upgrade-insecure-requests-http-header>. For an example, try out this website. Without this Add-on, visiting <http://realityripple.com> will remain insecure in Pale Moon. If you enable this add-on, however, you'll automatically be redirected to <https://realityripple.com>. It's basically a method of telling websites you want the secure version, if possible.

 The website has to support the Upgrade-Insecure-Requests header. Also, how they support it is up to them. Some may only change the parts they think should be secure, or make things like images and scripts secure. It's up to each website to decide how to handle the header.
