 I've just updated to the latest version of HTTPS Everywhere (3.4.1). It
 immediatley froze FF during starup. I have a lot of other addons so I
 started disabling the ones that updated recently in safe mode. The first
 one I disabled was the latest HTTPS Everywhere. Immediately, Firefox could
 start again in normal mode. No other addons cause that. Previous version
 also worked just fine. This bug exists in both Firefox 22 and 23.0.1.
 I'm using it under Windows 7.
 Task Manager shows that memory consumption jumps between higer and lower
 level and that the browser consumes around 25 to 32% during this, and
 nothing much happens.
