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.
