In your article "Configuring Firefox for FIPS 140-2" under "Step 3: Disable all the non-FIPS TLS cipher suites in about:config" - should not all the SSL3 cipher suites be disabled as well, e.g. the first "security.ssl3" cipher in the list is "security.ssl3.dhe_dss_aes_128_sha" and has a value of "true"?

In step 1 you disabled SSL2 and SSL3, so there is no need to disable individual SSL3 ciphers.
