Firefox 35, rc4 disabled

As far as I understood you should not (especially not only) use rc4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC4 even cloudflare is trying to get used of rc4. https://blog.cloudflare.com/killing-rc4/

> Fast-forward to 2013 and attacks on RC4 have been demonstrated; that makes the preference for RC4 problematic.

Looks like they killed 3DES, leaving only RC4.

FYI, 3DES should be still be enabled by default in browsers for a while, but I am not surprised if at some point they will get rid of it too.

Firefox Nightly. Oddly enough, the page loads fine on my laptop with the same browser. I'll diff my configs and see if anything interesting shows up.
