Title

Firefox must be configured to allow only TLS 1.2 or above.

Control

Type "about:policies" in the browser window. If "SSLVersionMin" is not displayed under Policy Name or the Policy Value is not "tls1.2" or "tls1.3", this is a finding.

Discussion

Use of versions prior to TLS 1.2 are not permitted. SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 contain a number of security flaws. These versions must be disabled in compliance with the Network Infrastructure and Secure Remote Computing STIGs.
