Comment(by simonster):

 HTTPS Everywhere seems to break the following code:

 {{{
 var req =
 Components.classes["@mozilla.org/xmlextras/xmlhttprequest;1"].createInstance();
 req.open("GET", "http://www.example.com/", false);
 req.send(null);
 alert("Done");
 }}}

 I get "TypeError: sink.asyncOnChannelRedirect is not a function", the
 alert never gets called, and Firefox hangs on shutdown. The problem
 appears to be that
 channel.notificationCallbacks.getInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIChannelEventSink)
 returns an XMLHttpRequest object that doesn't actually implement
 nsIChannelEventSink. Filed
