When trying sites like monoprice, assets fail to load. For example https://images.monoprice.com/productmediumimages/149871.jpg works on curl and chromium but not in Firefox in any of my systems. Using safe mode and a clean profile doesn't help.

hi, thanks for reporting - it seams to be a problem with the configuration of some cdn nodes that twitter (and some other sites) are using to propagate their content. we're tracking this in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1488240

a temporary workaround for this until a general fix is in place would be switching security.tls.version.max in about:config to 3. however you should revert that after a couple of days, as it might be detrimental to security in the long term.
