I can't reach that site, is it inside a corporate intranet?

Assuming you did not disable any standard ciphers in your browser (which cannot be done by accident) you really need to do what the message says and report this to the administrators of that site. They appear to have chosen a narrow set of ciphers that do not include any of the standard ones supported by Firefox.

Without being able to reach the site I cannot begin to guess if this is simply misconfiguration or if there's some property of the cipher they picked that is required by their business and they're OK having an explorer-only site. If this is a relatively new cipher that IE implements and that should be added to Firefox then a "feature request" bug would be reasonable, but there is not enough information here to know what the feature is.

I concur with everything Dan has said in comment 1. Please reopen if you can provide information which would enable us to reproduce this bug.
