Comment:

 I may have fairly good [https://github.com/dachshund/about-firefox-crashes
 empirical evidence] that https-everywhere 3.5.1 or 4.0development is
 correlated with Firefox crashes of certain signatures. What follows are
 the crash signatures in which https-everywhere is present in all crash
 reports of those signatures.

 Extensions in all reports with the same signature (https://crash-
 stats.mozilla.com/report/list/partials/reports/?product=Firefox&signature=nsEventQueue%3A%3APutEvent):
 {u'https-everywhere at eff.org': set([u'4.0development.16', u'3.5.1'])}

 Extensions in all reports with the same signature (https://crash-
 stats.mozilla.com/report/list/partials/reports/?product=Firefox&signature=js%3A%3AGCMarker%3A%3AGrayCallback):
 {u'https-everywhere at eff.org': set([u'4.0development.17', u'3.5.1'])}

 Extensions in all reports with the same signature (https://crash-
 stats.mozilla.com/report/list/partials/reports/?product=Firefox&signature=mozilla%3A%3Anet%3A%3AHttpBaseChannel%3A%3AGetURI%28nsIURI%2A%2A%29):
 {u'https-everywhere at eff.org': set([u'4.0development.16', u'3.5.1'])}

 Please let me know if something does not make sense.
