I am on UNIX, and from source code I now know that it is 3.11.5, but
as the link 
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/nss-3.11/nss-3.11-algorithms.html
says that ( Some technologies listed here are not currently
implemented, but are planned for implementation in an upcoming
release.) I need a full proof way to know exactly which algorithms are
getting included.

I know that in source code "/ashiyada/sb/ff1510/mozilla/security/nss/
lib/ssl/sslenum.c" has got all the names of algorithms, but as many of
it is #ifdef on NSS_ENABLE_ECC, which I am able to find a way to know
whether it is enabled or not; I still don't know which ones are
getting included.

I even tried dissecting libnss3.so but to no avail.
