Disable the export of encryption suites
Although modern browsers no longer support export suites, FREAK and Logjam attacks allow an intermediate hacker to encourage browsers to use exportable cryptography, after which the TLS connection can be decrypted. Export encryption is a remnant of the policy of the 1990s that prevented the export of strong cryptographic protocols from the United States. No modern customer relies on export suites and there are few disadvantages to disabling them.
Upgrading Firefox to the latest version
Let’s start by making sure your Firefox is updated to the latest version. If you make sure you are using the latest version available, there is no possibility that this error will occur due to an error.
