I’m installing Windows XP 64bit and have Firefox installed and can’t sign in

I took it upon myself to install Firefox 52.9.0 and found the exact same problem. I noticed that accounts.firefox.com and the sync page all do a TLS handshake, so I feel like the TLS protocol is outdated on Firefox 52. I can't even get it to open up accounts.firefox.com, but interestingly, Mypal (an up-to-date twice removed cousin of Firefox) is perfectly able to load Firefox Accounts. I'll still fiddle with it from time to time. After all, Mypal wouldn't do it at first, but I don't know what changed, other than signing into Pale Moon sync for testing.

This here is the console output on Firefox at the accounts page. Maybe a smarter someone can make something of it:
