Comment(by Tobu):

 Thank you for linking to this debian bug. I had the 100% cpu, unresponsive
 firefox during extension upgrades. I found out and removed https
 everywhere, it worked fine, but I was unable to download the xpi again.

 Once I removed the "AddTrust External CA Root" certificate located under
 "The USERTRUST Network", which [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
 bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=589023#15 had a loop], I was able to reinstall and
 update https everywhere.

 I do wonder where these broken certs came from, and how common they are.
 As far as I'm concerned, they could have been from ubuntu's ca-
 certificates, or from a minefield nightly. I've had trouble visiting
 gandi.net in the past, and noticed the loop but didn't think of removing
 the offender.
