Hi

I don't think this is something to be overly concerned by, DH1024 is
considered weak but there are no practical attacks that I'm aware off.

Looks to be an FF problem, I can replicate on my Tumbleweed and
Android FF installs.  There seems to be a bug open:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1367617

On Tumbleweed I can't replicate the fail in Chrome

I suggest you also have a look at:

Konqueror does not come off well in the badssl site.
