Yan Zhu, thanks for looking into this. If you look at my previous comment <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/11700#comment:6>, it seems that 3.5.1, 4.0development.16 and 4.0development17 are all involved. I have found Firefox crash signatures in which HTTPS Everywhere (in either one of these versions) are involved in all reports.
