Are you using a proxy or a direct connection?
Some proxies can't handle secure connections

You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved



It is set to No Proxy.



Get the following error after opening addons dialog from tools menu.

An error occurred during a connection to services.addons.mozilla.org:443.

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
