 Hi pde!!!!!!!!
 I know your question is for mike perry!!!!! but yeah!! i can answer you
 too!!!!!!!!!
 If nothing has changed in the code of HTTPS EVERYWHERE!! then nothing at
 all has changed and the flaw is always there!!!!!!!
 I don't think the time alone will patch the flaw!!!!! lolol!!!!!!!!!!!
 Also, this is funny!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure nobody noticed this!!! but the
 current found solution is: "disable the filter of amazon"!!!! hahah!!!!!
 YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, there is a flaw, but instead of finding a solution
 for it, the clever finding is: disable a filter!!!!!! the filter i
 reported in my example!!!!!!!
 Isn't that solution made upon the lack of logic!!?!!!!!!!!!! (i'm sure
 it's a mikeperry's idea!!!!!!!)
 Following this way to solve the flaw, you've got to disable all filters of
 HTTPS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!! YEAH!!! If you disable them all, or just
 uninstall the addon, firefox wont't crash any further!!!!!!!!!! i
 agree!!!!!!!
 I think i've got no crashes of firefox in the past weeks!!!!!! but i
 installed HTTPS Everywhere!! and now firefox crashes every minute or
 so!!!!!!
 The only two things changed are the version of Firefox i've installed:
 3.6.12!!!!!!!!!!! and HTTPS Everywhere's: 0.2.3.development.3!!!!!!!!!!

 mFixedCapacity = 63,
 }}}
 Now let's disable the filter of the NY times!!!!!!!!!!! lolol!!!!!!!!
 YEAH!!!! it's not a favicon this time!!!!! but, again, uninstalling HTTPS
 Everywhere solved the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Closing this report or disabling another filter!!!!!!!!!!!! won't solve
 the flaw for real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!! this is the point i want to
 make!!!!! it's very logical!!!!!!!!!!
 All filters of HTTPS Everywhere are ok!!!! Even the one for amazon is
 ok!!!!!!!!! It's in "HTTPS Everywhere" (and not in the filters!!!) the
 place where is located the flaw!!!!!!!!

 bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
