Bug 8897 - Can not download new or updated add-ons

Browse Source 
Apple provides a hacked OpenSSL that checks Keychain for certs after failing
to find them elsewhere (and normally there is no elsewhere). The versions
provided for OS X versions < 10.8 are obsolete, preventing building
osm-gps-maps's dependencies, so we provide our own but it can't be similarly
hacked to use Keychain because that is a private API to which Apple doesn't
provide headers.

This is at root a Python problem, see https://bugs.python.org/issue17128

To work around it, disable certificate verification for this one URL for
macs only. This does create the small security risk of a MITM attack injecting
malicious add-ons, but since the URL is user-editable a phishing attack is
more likely and there's nothing that SSL can do about that.
