For filling out confidential loan application form, I've been asked (told to only use) if my browser supports 256-bit encryption for privacy/protection. Does Firefox ver 61.0.1 support 256 bit encryption?

Firefox has supported 256-bit encryption for a very long time if the website provided support. The web browser we know as Firefox currently has supported it since it was Firebird 0.6, May 2003.
