You can temporarily bypass the error by typing 'about:config' in the address bar, accepting the risk, searching for 'security.tls.version_min', and setting its value to '1'. However, this significantly reduces your security and is strongly discouraged. It makes you vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and data interception. Only do this for testing purposes on a trusted network and revert the change immediately afterward.
