 Here's some background:

 Hi. It seems my HTTPS Everywhere doesn't work anymore. When I click on its
 icon, it displays only the prefs and about. When I click on Prefs, nothing
 happens. Any idea ?
  elesouef: what version of Firefox?
  what version of HTTPS Everywhere?
  and what errors do you see in the Firefox error console
  ?
  (or maybe you're using chrome?...)
  pde, sorry. forgot to tell these infos : iceweasel 10.0.12, HTTPS
 Everywhere 3.3.1.
  oh dear, sounds like a problem with old firefoxes
  fsck
  what do you see in the error console?
  ErreurÂ: HTTPSEverywhere is not defined
  Fichier SourceÂ: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
  LigneÂ: 1ErreurÂ: HTTPSEverywhere is not defined
  Fichier SourceÂ: chrome://https-everywhere/content/toolbar_button.js
  LigneÂ: 209
  anything before that?
  nope
  (that's not the real error, just a symptom)
  sounds strange to me, I was sure it was working some weeks ago.
  what if you click "errors" rather than "messages"?
  pde: I get
  Error: missing ) after formal parameters
  Source File: file:///home/thomas/.mozilla/firefox/profile/extensions
 /https-everywhere@xxxxxxx/components/https-everywhere.js
  Line: 606, Column: 33
  Source Code: get_prefs: function(prefBranch = PREFBRANCH_ROOT) {
  yep
  pde, these are errors, not messages.
  looks like Micah's bugs
  I will bug him about them
  this is bad, none of us are in SF to release a fix
  pde, maybe I should reinstall it. Having emptied iceweasel config file
 for https everywhere lines ?
  reinstalling it won't fix it
  the error you're seeing is almost certainly caused by the one GeKo is
 seeing
  upgrading to iceweasel 17 might help you
  pde, huh...
  or downgrading to an older https everywhere
  (https everywhere like all firefox extensions auto upgrades...
  and a bugfix in a recent release was not backwards compatible with
 iceweasel 10
  apparently
  agreed. what's the version I should use ?
  try...
  https://www.eff.org/files/https-everywhere-3.2.4.xpi
  if that doesn't work, step backwards towards 3.2
  https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere#https-everywhere-files
  pde, it works with version 3.2.4. Thanks very much. I disabled the
 automatic upgrade for this extension.
 (03:42:55 PM) pde@xxxxxxxxxx/ebfb3eaf564ee1a9: GeKo is reporting the error
 as being here:
 (03:42:56 PM) pde@xxxxxxxxxx/ebfb3eaf564ee1a9:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-
 everywhere.git/blob/3.0:/src/components/https-everywhere.js#l606
 (03:44:28 PM) pde@xxxxxxxxxx/ebfb3eaf564ee1a9: is it possible that default
 argument values were added to JS sometime after firefox 10, and you used
 them?
 (03:45:02 PM) pde@xxxxxxxxxx/ebfb3eaf564ee1a9:

 (03:45:09 PM) pde@xxxxxxxxxx/ebfb3eaf564ee1a9: looks like FF < 15 will be
 broken
 (03:45:56 PM) micah lee: oh, eeek
