 Firefox implements hard coded timeout for handshake with TLS servers that
 never answer. Right now it's 25 second without chance to change. Every
 timeout leads to msg about connection reset. Firefox resets itself and
 happily report about connection reset. Moreover logic of timeout broken
 completely and incompatible with Tor. See source code, file
 nsNSSIOLayer.cpp
 Suggested fixes proposed at
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754356
 Only solution is to remove timeout.

 What happen if really connect to server that never answer ServerHello?
 It's another story incompatible with current timeouts. Lets to remove and
 to code something new.
