1005655 - Search for any extensions fail, followed by a "Secure Connection Failed" error

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1005364

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Bryan Price]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140504030205

Steps to reproduce:

Go to the about:addons page, search for anything.

It instantly says it could not find any existing add-ons.

Hitting the "Learn more about add-ons" button gives an error.


Actual results:

The error says "Secure Connection Failed"

An error occurred during a connection to services.addons.mozilla.org.
The certificate was rejected by extra checks in the application.
(Error code: sec_error_application_callback_error)


Expected results:

Add-ons should have been found (maybe) and there should not be an error message.  This sounds like Firefox has an issue with services.addons.mozilla.org, which doesn't look like a security issue, it's a programming problem.

This started happening with the May 3rd update with multiple people reporting it on Mac, Linux and Windows machines on the nightly discussion list.  So we know that it was the changes made on May 2nd are the cause.
