Trying the Intermediate compatibility cipher list should fix it:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS#Intermediate_compatibility_.28default.29

I've tested it with Firefox 45 and httpd from current with something 
like:

CIPHERS="... list of ciphers from link ..."
/usr/libexec/httpd -b -f -X -s -z $CIPHERS -Z /root/my.cert /root/my.key 
/var/www

And that worked for me, the default cipher list compiled into httpd is a 
bit too
restrictive for Firefox and older browsers.  I didn't need to enable TLS 
1.0 or
recompile in my test.
