Comment (by dcf):

 SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG, in my experience, often happens when you try
 to talk TLS to a non-TLS port. You'll see it, for example, when you go to
 https://www.example.com:80/ (TLS to port 80 instead of port 443).

 Maybe this site has a bug in its load balancer, or something like that,
 such that TLS gets directed to a plaintext port somewhere on the backend.
 It's weird that it only happens when you access from Tor, but maybe they
 had a special rule for Tor and they didn't update it when they updated
 something else.
