#9956: FF24 CPU loop after HTTPS-Everywhere 3.4.2 install

I updated the extensions on my Firefox 24.0 setup, one of which being
HTTPS-Everywhere, and on restarting Firefox went into a CPU loop showing
100% in Task Manager on Windows 7 64-bit.
Left things for 10 mins to see if would clear itself but no good. Killing
off Firefox process and restarting it would result in the same CPU bound
process. Not sure which extension could be at fault so rather than safe
mode disable, I did a full firefox reset to get it working again on a new
profile.
I slowly reinstalled my usual extensions one by one and when it came to
HTTPS-Everywhere 3.4.2 (latest as of 10/10/13) the CPU looping issue
appeared once more. Disabling it in safe mode meant that Firefox would
start and work as normal, but enabling it meant 100% CPU and start window
never opening.
Interestingly, I removed HTTPS-Everywhere 3.4.2 and installed 3.2.2 which
started up fine, no problem at all. This was alongside the other 40 or so
extensions I use so all points to something odd that has been introduced
since 3.2.2.
Hope this information helps locate the issue!
