We're unable to access the www.opm.gov/e-qip/ site.

It gives us an error message saying that - We did not detect that your web browser supports 128-bit high encryption.

Mac and Windows - Firefox 30

Any one seen this?

There is usually a button to ignore this message and continue.

If websites complain about 128 bit encryption not being available then that can be caused by sniffing the user agent for "U;" that was removed from the user agent in Firefox 4+ versions. You can ignore this warning and see if it works if you continue. Firefox supports 256 bit encryption ciphers (AES-256) since 2003 in Firebird 0.6, so all Firefox versions support 128 bit and stronger 256 bit encryption (128 bit shouldn't be used these days anyway).

This page? https://www.opm.gov/e-QIP/browser-check.asp

"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."

I'm not sure that warning is correct, since as far as I know, Firefox supports both 128-bit and 256-bit encryption. See: Does Mozilla support 128-bit encryption?

Did you try continuing and see whether you ran into any problems.

For what it is worth, the above mentioned browser check page shows in Tools > Page Info > General:

  • Security information for this page
    Connection Encrypted: High-grade Encryption (TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, 256 bit keys)

I tried to continue and it just sat there - I can only assume its failing due to this "error".
