Full support for TLS 1.0 was first added to NSS 2.8. That work was
finished in January 2000.

Support for 3-key Triple-DES in CBC mode goes back to SSL2 and was
introduced to NSS in January 1995.  It was present in NSS's
implementations of SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 from their respective first
releases.

IINM, TLS has been enabled by default since NSS 3.0.  It was not enabled
by default in NSS 2.8.  That change of default setting for TLS was one
of the changes we made in the 3.0 major release. See
<http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/security/nss/lib/ssl/sslsock.c&rev=1.55&mark=173#164>

There have also been a number of protocol version negotiation issues with
various non-NSS products.  I will write about one of them separately.
