HTTPS Finder slows browser to a halt.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

After the latest firefox update (I'm not sure if https finder updated as well) 
after using the browser for a while pages begin to take forever to load.

I have linked the problem to https finder as it only occurs when it is enabled.

I am using FF 20.0 and https finder 0.85.

Another thing that I noticed was raising my `network.http.max-connections` 
value temporarily restored load time.  This leads me to believe you are leaking 
connections or automatically reopening connections (that would explain why 
pages slowly load).

Thanks for the report. I never got the FX20 compatibility report from Mozilla, 
but I've disabled the addon for this version due to other reports.

The good news is that HTTPS Finder shouldn't be causing these problems. Here's 
what happened: it's using deprecated E4X for XML processing (writing rules) 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/E4X. This was removed from FX20, so 
the extension never actually loads completely. I'll look into rewriting this in 
the next couple weeks so it's compatible again.

I just uploaded to AMO. Review process takes a week or two, until then it's 
listed under the versions page 
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/https-finder/versions/).
