xul-ext-monkeysphere 0.6 triggers X crash
For some reason, the Monkeysphere Firefox add-on 0.6 reproducibly triggers an X crash here as soon as Firefox displays a warning about an untrusted SSL certificate. That's Firefox 12.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 (but it also happened on Ubuntu 11.10 with the Firefox version Ubuntu provides there), x86_64 architecture. As soon as i deactivate the Monkeysphere add-on (no other change) and access a location which presents a non-trusted SSL certificate (https://www.abgabenrechner.de/ is one example), there's no more crash.
This Firefox profile also has the "MitM me (Cert Error Bypass)" extension version 2.1.110513 installed, which modifies the certificate warnings Firefox displays. Certificate Patrol 2.0.14 (which implements SSL certificate pinning) as well as Cert Viewer Plus 1.8 (extended certificate display), Expire Canary 1.8 (warns about soon to expire SSL certificates), HTTPS Everywhere 3.0development.3 and HTTPS Finder 0.85 (semi-automatically switch to secure versions of HTTP webseites and remember to only access them securely in the future) are also installed. There are more add-ons installed but those are not directly related to SSL. I'm happy to provide the entire list privately as needed.
Here's the end of my .xsession-errors.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/990379/ (I've redacted one line there where indicated.) Xorg.0.log does not list any related entry (not even a failure) but X restarts automatically.
