Add-On page will not display properly
Using Firefox 28.0 and when I go to the Get Add-On tabs the page does not render correctly. I basically get plain text and hyperlinks. The other tabs work fine. Same thing happens when I attempt to open https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ in the Firefox browser. If however I search for an Add-On the search result page renders correctly however whenever I attempt to install any add-on the downloading image comes up for a second then it says Error Downloading.
I have tried everything I can think of and have found in help forums. I even did a complete uninstall and reinstalled Firefox 28.0.
Any help would be appreciated!
