It loads on my iPhone and other browsers using the same link. What setting do I need to address to get this to stop?

I have a local Rocky Linux server running a nginx web server. I am using a Macos laptop. I am trying to install a self signed ssl certificate using openssl on my web server.. The certificate I generated works with Safari but not with Firefox. I have copied the certificate to both Safari and Firefox for local use. Privacy and Security, Manage Certificates, Your Certificates. Firefox complains that that my TLS is tls 1.1, when I am using tls 1.3:

An error occured during connection to tls-v1-1.badssl.com:1011. Peer using unsupported version of security protocol.

My test on my server shows:

sudo curl -v https://caprock.home

Connected to caprock.home (192.168.2.44) port 443 (#0)

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.
