All,
Red Hat released the source code for Firefox 38. We have (or willbe
today) releasing this for CentOS-5, CentOS-6, and CentOS-7.
It does not, by default, connect to https sites with TLS less than 1.2.
This means it will not connect to sites on CentOS-5, for example ..
there are many others.
In any event, here is a wiki article that explains potential issues and
workarounds:

Hi Johnny,
My reading of https://access.redhat.com/node/1422403 is Firefox 38 will
connect to sites using TLS 1.0 and 1.1. But ONLY if the server correctly
negotiates the connection. This should only effect sites that close the
initial connection due to not understanding TLS 1.2.
A quick test connecting to a RHEL5 server over HTTPS with Firefox 38
shows it has established a TLS 1.0 connection so this should not really
effect CentOS 5.
