Cannot reproduce with Firefox 25.0 on Fedora 20.

Does the problem still happen if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? (Safe Mode disables extensions and themes, hardware acceleration and some JavaScript stuff in order to exclude some possible reasons for problems. It does not disable plugins which are add-ons.) See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode 

And does this also happen with a new and empty profile? See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile and http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Managing%20profiles

Found it's caused by the add-on, HTTPS-Everywhere:

I've been able to reproduce this bug and confirmed that it is fixed by disabling the Apple.com rule in HTTPS Everywhere. Please open a ruleset bug at https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere/issues.

Is this still an issue?
The only apple rule change i see is https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere/commit/b80007e4ea490a8d5d673fb816d124fd8a61e8f6#diff-6594837f75e34da15f18794199770151 since this report get filed.
