OK, on second thought it might not be a good idea to downgrade the browser:

Hello Edward,
This website has some justification for using HTTPS everywhere:

Downgrading a web browser is probably the worst advice you can possibly give to
someone.
You might be interested in this Q&A thread explaining why:

I hope you will consider amending your last message, to prevent people
subscribed to ccp4bb from exposing themselves with out of date browsers.
With best wishes,

I see no reason why a website, dedicated to providing information
available to everyone, should be required to use https.
The web is too focused on e-commerce, where security is more important.
I hope firefox can be configured to allow insecure http, perhaps with a warning.
Otherwise downgrade to previous version (FF 47 connects fine).
Just be sure when visiting ccp4.ac.uk, don't enter personal info
like your tax-payer ID or credit card number. If you need to login
to modify the wiki or your subscription details, use another password for
the bank.
