I need 128bit encryption to fill out a government form. The site said it detected that mt version, the latest, of mozilla did not have it. How do I get it?

Actually 128 bit encryption is outdated and shouldn't be used these days. 256 bit encryption should be standard for any site that wants to be safe. There is usually a button to continue if you get redirected to a page that test if you meet the requirements. It shouldn't pose a problem to continue in cases like that.

The Mozilla browsers which include Firefox has supported 256-bit even encryption for a long time now so it yes it supports 128-bit.

The issue could perhaps be the site is looking for the old obsolete U in the useragent which was used to specify the encryption strength of 128-bit though 256-bit has been supported for a long while already at time by Mozilla applications. This "U" was removed in Firefox useragent as of 4.0 which was released March 22nd, 2011.

128 bit encryption is outdated

AES 128-bit encryption is not outdated by any means.

and shouldn't be used these days.

Who says that?
