I filed a bug in FF to update the outdated phrasing of SSL related
security like:
"High-grade encryption. Strongest encryption available, using
128-bit keys at a minimum.
Medium-grade encryption. Somewhat stronger than low-grade
encryption, using 56- or 64-bit keys.
Low-grade encryption. Weakest encryption available, using 40-bit
keys."
From my point of view the cipher should be taken into account, too.
Plus the key length does not look like a length I would trust in 2014.

Please feel free to add your comments if you have some additional
information on that matter.
Greetings,
Jan
