 2) If I '''uninstall''' it the result is the updating process is ok.

 2.1) If I disable it, the situation is a little more complicated.

 2.1.1)

 HTPPS Everywhere : Active --> the extensions '''updadating''' process
 blocks: error in CertUtils.jsm:16".

       If I restart the '''addons''' windows without restart '''firefox''',
 and I disable HTTPS Everywhere -->the extensions '''updadating''' process
 is '''ok'''.

 But it's true the inverse. Now I have Https Everywhere disabled. I restart
 '''firefox''' and I have:

 2.2.2.)

 HTPPS Everywhere : Disabled --> the extensions '''updadating''' process
 blocks: error
 in [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/search/opensearch?q=CertUtils.jsm%3A16
 CertUtils.jsm:16]".

       If I restart the '''addons''' windows without restart '''firefox''',
 and I enable HTTPS Everywhere -->the extensions '''updadating''' process
 is '''ok'''.

 At last, the updating process is '''ok''' if I change the state of HTTPS
 Everywhere  (disabled->enabled or enabled->disabled) before I try the
 updating process.
