 Sometimes I get this error in the console:

 {{{
 [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005
 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIURI.host]"  nsresult: "0x80004005
 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Users/[redacted

 username]/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[redacted
 profile]/extensions/https-everywhere at eff.org/components/ssl-observatory.js
 :: SSLObservatory.prototype.submitCertChainForChannel :: line 434"

 data: no]
 }}}
 The line in question contains:

 {{{
 this.log(INFO, "SHA-256 hash of cert chain for "+new
 String(channel.URI.host)+" is "+ chain_hash);
 }}}

 Add-on Version: 3.5.1
 Firefox Version: 29.0.1 (German)
 OS: Win 7 SP1 (64bit German)

 I'm unable to reproduce it. I just found them because #12224 got created
 and I experience crashes as well. Not as frequent as the reporter
 mentions.
