I have read guidelines and some of past questions, but am not sure this is a right forum to post my question. Please kindly navigate me to a right place if necessary.

I noticed Firefox Beta 37 has the following default values for TLS configuration that I believe it always requires TLS 1.2 for TLS connection even though TLS 1.0 is allowed to use because you cannot fall back to TLS 1.0 due to the fallback-limit value.

security.tls.version.fallback-limit;3 security.tls.version.max;3 security.tls.version.min;1

The values of security.tls.version.max and min stays the same as Firefox 36, but security.tls.version.fallback-limit has changed from 1 to 3 in Firefox Beta 37.

Will security.tls.version.fallback-limit;3 be the default configuration in the next official Firefox 37 release?
