Hi,

https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/haldermanheninger/how-is-nsa-breaking-so-much-crypto/

indicates that the NSA may have compromised 1024-bit Diffie-Hellman.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/how-to-protect-yourself-from-nsa-attacks-1024-bit-DH

discusses how browsers can be tested to determine whether they support
1024-bit Diffie-Hellman and, if so, how it can be disabled.  Visiting
the site referenced in the latter article, https://www.howsmyssl.com/,
indicates that iceweasel does support 1024-bit Diffie-Hellman.  Should
it be disabled by default?
