Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Still having issues on FF 37.0.2 + HTTPSE 5.0.3. Using the switch even
 once breaks the browser (see comment 1) each time you start it, not
 randomly at some occasions & not at others, as was the case for some time.
 Removing HTTPSE makes it possible to cope with the problem, you just need
 to visit a https-only site, like Wikipedia, and then everything is back in
 order. If you choose to use the switch twice at the beginning of every
 session instead (HTTPSE isn't restartless), you can't let another person
 use your browser without explaining how to unlock it.
