Rather than use individual checkboxes, Firefox now operates over a range of SSL/TLS protocols. These settings are accessed using the about:config preferences editor.
Lowest Acceptable Protocol: security.tls.version.min (default SSL3.0 = 0)
Highest Allowed Protocol: security.tls.version.max (default TLS1.0 = 1)
To modify:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the Search box above the list, type or paste tls and pause while the list is filtered
(3) To disable SSL3 and requires TLS of one flavor or another, double-click security.tls.version.min and enter the desired value:
- 0 = SSL 3.0 okay
- 1 = at least TLS 1.0
- 2 = at least TLS 1.1 See WARNING below
(4) To disable TLS of one flavor or another, double-click security.tls.version.max and enter the desired value:
- 0 = up to SSL 3.0
- 1 = up to TLS 1.0
- 2 = up to TLS 1.1 See WARNING below
WARNING: According the following article, selecting TLS 1.1 may prevent connections to older servers from working: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.tls.version.*
