www.opm.gov/e-qip/ is a government site that I need to use to fill out a questionaire for employment. It says my web browser does not support a 128 bit encryption which it needs for the site to work properly. How do I increase the encryption bits?

Firefox supports greater than 128-bit encryption, but that web site is using an out dated method of judging encryption strength.

It is a warning that you can ignore.

Warning - We did not detect that your web browser supports 128-bit high encryption. If you have trouble connecting after you click the "Continue" button below, you will need to upgrade your web browser to a version that supports 128-bit encryption.

This is incorrectly looking for the U that used to be in Firefox 3.6.* and earlier.

I actually contacted them about this once a while ago but they have not gotten back to me after it was forwarded to appropriate person.
