I'm connected through a public wifi hotspot. No problem when using IExplorer. When I use Firefox, I obtain the following error message after asking for any https url, as for example https://www.google.com:

An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com.

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

How can I solve?

This problem can be repair with uncheck the TLS encryption. Tools > Option > Encryption (tab) > and uncheck TLS 1.0.


Update.

Look for these preferences(security.tls.version*).

  • security.tls.version.min
  • security.tls.version.max

In the Awesomebar, type or paste about:config and tap the Go arrow. Type tls into the search box and tap the Enter key to find all preferences that contain tls.

According to a comment in the code:

// 0 means SSL 3.0, 1 means TLS 1.0, 2 means TLS 1.1, etc.

So try setting both min and max to 2, to force TLS 1.1, and see whether that works.
