Hello Ellie,
Are you getting browser errors about Diffie-Hellman parameters? I've
just scanned the University of Leeds IdP host using the SSL Labs testing
tool and I can see that there are Diffie-Hellman security issues which
would cause browser errors.
I will contact your Shibboleth IdP people and advise them on how to
resolve the issue.
Could anyone else on this list having issues with respect to Shibboleth
and Firefox upgrades, or any other browser, please contact your IT
department in the first instance and alert them to the problem, and ask
them to contact the UK federation on our support address:

and we will provide advice about how to resolve the problem. It involves
some reconfiguration on the IdP server and would improve security. In
some cases some software components may need to be upgraded (Java, Java
servlet container, Apache web server).
(My colleague Steve Glover is investigating the ACS issue, he will post
on this list shortly)
Regards,
Sara Hopkins
