With TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 considered vulnerable to various types of attacks, including BEAST, CRIME and POODLE, the Internet organization last month announced plans to disable them in its popular browser and allow only connections made using TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3.
An override button on the error page will provide users with the option to fallback to TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1.
The change introduced in Firefox 74 is expected to encourage them to improve the security of their sites and users.
Firefox 74 includes patches for a dozen vulnerabilities, including five rated high severity, six medium risk, and one low severity.
The browser maker squashed memory safety bugs in Firefox 74 and in both Firefox 74 and Firefox ESR 68.6.
