Error connecting to intranet site - ssl_error_illegal_parameter_alert
Since updating to Firefox 35, some (not all) of my firm's intranet sites do not load. The most relevant post (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1041524) is not helpful since, like the person reporting this issue, our firm only supports IE for internal sites. How can I bypass this error for intranet sites (I no longer see this option)?
An error occurred during a connection to <intranet site>. SSL peer rejected a handshake message for unacceptable content. (Error code: ssl_error_illegal_parameter_alert)

The website might be using a cipher suit that is no longer considered secure and safe and is blocked in current releases.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar and use its search bar to locate this pref:
- security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts
You can double-click the line to modify the pref and add the domain to this pref. If there are already websites (domains) in this list then add a comma and the new domain (no spaces). You should only see domains separated by a comma in the value column.
This did not work; I also tried changing the "network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS" setting from false to true, but this also did not work.
