Mozilla claims RC4 is "High Grade" encryption even though it has
serious vulnerabilities when used in TLS
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=947149). They remove
3-key TDEA with 112-bits of security (which is currently approved by
ECRYPT, ISO/IEC, NIST, and NESSIE).

Related, their browser claim plain text HTTP is good (no user
warnings), and HTTPS with a self signed is bad (big red flags for
opportunistic encryption). When did plain text become better than
cipher text? And they also rewarded Trustwave's bad behavior way back
when (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724929).

I'm not sure I would follow Mozilla's lead.
