 I’ve been having problems with Firefox crashing periodically.  After a
 fair amount of testing, I’ve determined that it is related to HTTPS
 Everywhere.

 Steps to reproduce the issue:

 starting with all add-ons disabled, I enable HTTPS Everywhere
 I restart Firefox as required
 The crash reporter indicates that Firefox has crashed
 I choose the ‘Restart Firefox’, which it does.  No additional crashes
 occur after this point.
