This is a full WireShark capture for one of the tests we did the other day. This includes one valid page load and the second page load spinning. As you can see the server does not provide the "Server Hello" and further communication on the second attempt of the request. It has also changed from TLS to SSL for that communication. This is causing issues for as we need STRING Ciphers for FIPS compliance.

See in Troubleshooting information for the capture without the IP's.

Why does Firefox connect as SSL the second time it tries to load a page? Is this expected?

Hi,

You can try to deselect Use SSL 3.0 in Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Advanced > Encryption, change the required preferences in about:config and check the output again.
