 Whenever I close all Firefox windows (not the app itself, I'm running on a
 Mac) and open a new one, it takes a long time for the window to open. Most
 of the time it is approximately five seconds, but sometimes the app stops
 responding and I have to force quit Firefox.

 I have disabled HTTPS Everywhere and it stopped happening. As soon as I
 re-enabled it, it started happening again. Also, I have seen once or twice
 a dialog window prompting me to stop a non-responding script (or some
 other similar wordage), and I clearly remember the name HTTPS Everywhere
 being mentionned. Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce it, but as
 soon as I do I will attatch a screenshot.

 I'm running the latest stable version of HTTPS Everywhere on the latest
 Nightly version of Firefox on Mac OS 10.7.5. My brother who runs the
 latest release version of Firefox on Mac OS 10.6.8 (well, the latest Snow
 Leopard version) has the same problem.
