 How:
 go to about:config
 search "SSL3"
 Among what you see are the key exchange protocols
 double click on DH protocols and leave ECDHE and RSA intact.
 Result:
 -Forcing secure websites to use either RSA or ECDHE for key exchange (the
 most secure key exchange protocols)
 -Disabling Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol (considered less secure
 than those mentioned above).
 PS: ECDHE is even more secure than RSA, so you might want to consider
 disabling RSA too.
