Comment (by cypherpunks):

 >Here theory about how it happens (but not why)
 Btw, then it means two separate bugs, for firefox with error_stack and
 HTTPS-Everywhere breaking of module loading or something.

 More funny, it's unfixable bug for firefox. If just to call
 nss_DestroyErrorStack then next call of error_get_my_stack for this thread
 never create destructor for thread data for next created error_stack, that
 leads to memleak. If to really destroy error stack with reinitializing of
 error_stack_index back to INVALID_TPD_INDEX so recreate it for next call
 then it will break code design:
 {{{
 The thread-private index must be obtained (once!) at runtime.
 }}}
 Unfixable if to use firefox code base. You can to close this bug.
