Kai,

What is the purpose of Firefox continuing to do any fallback at all ?
IMO, making a second connection with any lower version of SSL/TLS defeats the intent of the SSL/TLS protocol, which have built-in defenses against protocol version downgrade.
Isn't it time this fallback gets eliminated at last ?

Yes. If I understand correctly, it seems that Firefox indeed still falls
back to SSL3, even with SSL3 disabled.

I found
   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1083058
which intends to implement a preference to configure the oldest allowed
protocol version to fallback to, with a propose mininum of 1 (TLS1).
