"Add-ons" > "Find Updates" always results in "An error occurred while trying to find updates for feedly" result. While I don't think this is a critical issue, because feedly itself does partial incremental updates, I think this problem prevents full updates.

In Error Console, following messages appear:

Datasource: Addon Update Started: feedly@devhd

RDFItemUpdater:checkForUpdates sending a request to server for: https://feeddo.fileburst.com/release/..., item = ({id:"feedly@devhd", version:"1.2", installLocationKey:"app-profile", minAppVersion:"3.0", maxAppVersion:"3.6a1pre", name:"feedly", xpiURL:"", xpiHash:"", iconURL:"chrome://mozapps/skin/xpinstall/xpinstallItemGeneric.png", updateRDF:"https://feeddo.fileburst.com/release/update.rdf", updateKey:"", type:2, targetAppID:"{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}"})

Diagnose: After nsIExtensionManager service, used by Firefox to update add-ons, retrieves an add-on's update RDF resource, it attempts to check the SSL cert returned in the response. In feedly's case, it's missing because "HTTPS://feeddo.fileburst.com/release/update.rdf" is redirected to "HTTP://www.feedly.com/release/update.rdf".

Feedly started showing JSON errors in Error Console about 20 minutes ago. Cause appears to be JSON property names not being double quoted. For example,

{foo:"bar"}

which is actually not valid JSON.

Also reported in Error Console:

[feedly]failed to load Google Reader information. Context: subscriptions=not available, unread count=not available, friends=none, tags=none, userId=13243838186677161698

It looks like unofficial Google Reader API was recently changed to return invalid JSON which confuses Feedly.
