Try to clear the cache and cookies only from websites (addons.mozilla.org and possibly addons.cdn.mozilla.net) that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

I'm having the exact same problem! Since it doesn't appear that the original poster attached screenshots, here are mine.
BTW, I *could* live with the stripped-down-plain-text formatting style. The REAL problem here is that we are unable to get & install any add-ons. The install process begins... the progress status bar starts to move.... then after a few seconds it stops, and the phrase "Error Downloading" appears.
My brain is officially fried at this point. Support would be very appreciated!

Get Add-ons uses something like this:
Thanks for your reply, co-rel. Yes, it still does.
Did you "Clear the Cache" and "Remove Cookies?"
Also; load the page again. Then, holding down the shift key, select
page reload.
Those steps were also tried but didn't help.
UPDATE: The problem resolved itself on its own. I walked away from the machine out of sheer frustration. Came back 2 days later, and everything worked fine. Must've been a glitch with the website.
