 I am currently using Firefox 29 from the firefox-next ubuntu PPA.

 I haven't used the computer a lot this week, but today I started seing
 Firefox freeze (stops responding and is greyed out on Ubuntu) whenever a
 popup window tries to open (my test case was shift-clicking the compose
 button on gmail).

 After a bit of trial and error, I was able to isolate it to HTTPS
 Everywhere.
 I've used it for some time now, with no issues, and I don't believe I've
 changed anything recently.

 I've tried going forward to the latest https-
 everywhere-4.0development.16.xpi and still get the freeze. Downgrading to
 https-everywhere-3.4.5.xpi "fixes" the issue.
