I don't think there's a point to doing that. Sure, it would temporarily
mitigate this specific instance, but it's going back to the
cat-and-mouse methods that I don't like. If the firewall vendor is okay
with blocking all Firefox 38 users from www.google.com, they aren't
going to have a problem with also blocking other domains. The weakness
in this case, I think, was the obsolete TLS signature, not the domain
name.
