Server 2012 RDWeb "Secure Connection Failed" with Firefox
I'm having a problem accessing RD Web (Server 2012 R2) on Firefox. I get the following error:
This is a fairly new install of RDS. I believe that my problem started after I installed certificates for RDS so I could subscribe to the RemoteApps (this is now working beautifully). All I know is I was able to use Firefox early this morning, I installed the certificates mid morning, and now, late afternoon, I am unable to use Firefox.
I am able to access the page no problem with both IE and Chrome. I have tried other computers, and they exhibit the same behavior: IE and Chrome works, Firefox, no
Secure Connection Failed
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

I was thinking it might be something like that. However, I've checked the certificate, and I don't imagine my problem is exactly that.
In the certificate template I'm using, my minimum key size is 2048, and the only provider checked is Microsoft RSA. When I look at the certificate after I create it, everything looks good: it's a sha512RSA, 2048bit certificate.
Based on the link, I went ahead and did a fresh install of Firefox 32, and went to my RD Web page. Now, I'm getting a different error:
From some research I've done, it looks like sha512 might be to blame for this. How can I specify sha256 when I create my certificate? Do I need to modify something in either the certificate template, or is it when I make the certificate request?
Thanks!

The connection was resetI know I can access the server (so it's not a firewall issue), because I can get to other, non-HTTPS pages.

*The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
*If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
*If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
