I was waiting for that SSL Labs page to be linked.

Something else is going on as well. Most of the time, the handshake simulation section is just this: > TLS 1.0 TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA (0x5) But clear the cache and keep trying, and one or more non-RC4 suites will be used for a select few randomised cases: > TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (0xc02f) > TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 (0x3c) However, sometimes the HTTP server signature is "Apache", sometimes it's "Unknown", and sometimes something that starts with T, even for the same IPs (load balancer?).

FWIW I can now connect successfully with TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 on Aurora 38. The Handshake Simluation sections in https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=login.aliexpress.com are also now populated with a lot more non-RC4 suites (the HTTP server signature I got every time I tried over the past few days was "Tengine"). Not sure if this means Alibaba has fixed all of the servers that seem to serve the URL though.
Shane, do you still see the issue?
Flags: needinfo?(shane.bundy)
The issue seems to have been resolved. Alibaba have always had non-RC4 ciphers on offer but Firefox was mostly refusing to use them on first, and subsequent, loads. It still would be nice if RC4 would just die already. :)

I'm still facing it in Firefox 44.0b4. Very rare cases when it would load, otherwise it is the same error. Somehow works in Developer edition :|
