If it is an option for you to use custom-built NSS libraries
with Firefox, you can follow the instructions at
http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/ECC_Capable_NSS
to build a version of NSS that doesn't have a built-in ECC
implementation but can be configured to use a third-party
ECC implementation with no crippled functionality.  That
wiki page is intended for exactly your scenario.
