For many reasons, this is wrong.  You don't know the security of every
device or server I need to connect to (I've had to lower system security
policy before to connect to older hardware for example).  And since you
can't tell me why the site I cited is "bad", I can't even suggest a fix.
So the poor design is Firefox and the Fedora crypto policy
implementation.

Using a scanner, I can see that the site supports TLS 1.2.  The first
server-preferred cipher is TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (ECDH
secp256r1), which I think should still be considered secure.
