SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length
For the past few days ALL of my computers show the following message when I attempt to access ANYTHING to do with google:
"Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to https://www.google.co.uk/firefox SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)"
1) When I remove the 's' from https, it works 2) No difference if I attempt to access google.com or goggle.co.uk 3) I do not have security.enable_ssl3 and security.enable_tls when I type about.config

Do you have any content blocking software or security software that monitors secure connections?
You can check the connection settings.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
See "Firefox connection settings":
Unfortunately this did not solve the problem...
Current Firefox versions use the two prefs security.tls.version.min and security.tls.version.max to set what SSL and TLS version to use.
0 means SSL 3.0, 1 means TLS 1.0, 2 means TLS 1.1, 3 means TLS 1.2 etc.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
