Slow DNS requests with HTTPS Everywhere in Iceweasel 17.0.8/23.0 on Debian 7.1
With HTTPS Everywhere enabled, DNS lookups of HTTPS websites become slower than normal and the site may not load altogether, most notably youtube.com. Disabling/enabling the SSL Observatory does not change this behavior. HTTP-only sites appear to be unaffected.
The issue is present in the development version of the addon on Iceweasel 17.0.8~deb7u1 and 23.0 on a Debian 7 system. HTTPS Everywhere stable running on Windows 7 is unaffected.
