Firefox 39 ssl weak no way to disable?

more options

So I go to log on to my home router today (on my LAN in my house over wired ethernet) but turns out cannot since it's apparently running an older version of https and is therefore now inaccessible with any modern Web Browser. Apparently in older versions of Firefox this could be bypassed by modifying (temporarily) the security.version.min, but I'm running Firefox 39 and changing that setting + reboot of Firefox does not let me get to my router. Help please.

What do the SSLv3 error messages mean on Firefox? In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
  3. search for ssl and find the version you need to change it too.
