Firefox on what platform?  I'm unable to replicate here, on Windows 7
or Linux (all I can reach at the moment).

Qualys SSL Labs comes up clean for both IPv4 and IPv6:

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=forums.freebsd.org&s=149.20.54.209&latest

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=forums.freebsd.org&s=2001%3A4f8%3A3%3A36%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A209

Only unusual (not bad) thing that stands out from the results is that
TLS 1.0 is not supported, which most sites haven't had the guts to do
yet that I have seen.

Do the forums have any load-balancing or DNS anycast stuff going on,
or is forums.freebsd.org always 149.20.54.209 regardless of network
standpoint?

Firefox usually supplies an error code (of the form
"err_ssl_version_or_cipher_mismatch" or similar).  Anything like that
showing up on your end?
