[HTTPS-Everywhere] HTTPS-Everywhere and possibly associated stability issue

[Christopher Liu]

I have recently encountered some browser stability issues which I
originally blamed on an update of another extension (BeeFree version
2.1.9), but I have come to realize that HTTPS-Everywhere may also be
involved. The reason is that browsing sites targeted by
HTTPS-Everywhere seems to make the crashes more likely - specifically
Wikipedia, Amazon, and PayPal.

All relevant information, including links to crash reports, is located
at http://honeybeenet.phpbb3now.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=309

In summary, this is Firefox 3.6.8 on Windows Vista 32-bit; the crashes
can happen either during browsing or on exit; the crash signature is
always nsExpirationTracker<imgCacheEntry,
int>::RemoveObject(imgCacheEntry*); I have a lot of other extensions
installed, and I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting.
(I don't currently have time to make a clean profile etc., and I would
really prefer not to disable either HTTPS-Everywhere or BeeFree
pending a resolution.)

If you need it for testing, BeeFree can be downloaded at
http://honeybeenet.altervista.org/beefree/?id=105000 for the current
version or http://honeybeenet.altervista.org/beefree/?id=105100 for
old versions. (The copy on a.m.o is no longer updated.)

All in all, please investigate at your earliest convenience. Sorry if
any of my hypotheses turn out to be false leads. Thank you very much.
