Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Yet one workaround, set browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl to false, before
 unchecking DR. It should to prevent crashes.
 Deleting HTTPS-Everywhere is not solution actually. Torbutton can to
 trigger the same problem every 1.5 hours.

 The proper solution is to fix firefox codebase so it doesn't unload
 modules by main thread before termination all another threads. Alas, it
 will require to rewrite all code. The real solution is to pass real
 PR_Free address like it does MSVC's code generator, and to fix or make it
 clear many non working parts of add-ons code.
 {{{
 req.channel.loadFlags |= Ci.nsIRequest.LOAD_BYPASS_CACHE;
 }}}
 Doesn't work for code used by Torbutton and HTTPS-Everywhere.
