• what you’ve got to do is make FF accept the certificate. I had to do this and found a setting in FF that allowed it to happen. You’ve got a browser that is so secure it won’t do what you want. Mind you, the certificate system is there for a good reason. Only defeat it if you know what you’re doing.

  No, I don’t remember which setting I changed but Google is your friend.

• Thanks, Dave, I found a couple things to change using about:config but that didn’t work either. Guess I should have mentioned that as well.

• Does this help?

• Those are the ones I changed in about:config. It didn’t work for me.

• Sounds like your problem is described in this bug report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id81515

  Your webmin server probably have an old, less than 1024 bit, certificate. You should be able to connect with an older browser and update the certificate from the webmin gui.

• That’s what I have read, but I have tried to install an older version but I
  still get the error.

  Uninstalling must not remove everything. Guess I should try unistalling webmin??

• My issue was/is ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key, so not the same as yours, but changing those settings worked with the ff 40-b3
  release that I’m using.

  You can find a full archive of ff releases at:

  <ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/>

  At least with the recent ones, the linux releases are self-contained and can be uncompressed in private user space and run from there so you can do this without mucking with your CentOS repository versions.

  I’m currently using c7/mate, but have been using that archive, without dependency issues, for some time – including when I was running c6.
