The Transport Layer Security (TLS) + protocol is an IETF standard based on SSL. TLS 1.0 can be thought of as SSL + 3.1.</p> + +<p>You should normally leave these three checkboxes selected to ensure that + both older and newer web servers can work with the browser:</p> + +<ul> + <li><strong>Enable SSL version 3</strong>: Allows newer web servers to work + with the browser.</li> + <li><strong>Enable TLS</strong>: Allows web servers that support TLS to take + advantage of it.</li> +</ul> + +<p><strong>Important note regarding TLS</strong>: Some servers that do not + implement SSL correctly cannot negotiate the SSL handshake with client + software (such as the browser) that supports TLS. Such servers are known as + <q>TLS intolerant</q>.</p> + +<p>When the Enable TLS option in the SSL preferences panel is selected, the + browser attempts to use the TLS protocol when making secure connections with + a server. If that connection fails because the server is TLS intolerant, the + browser will fall back to using SSL 3.0.</p> + +<h3 id="ssl_warnings">SSL Warnings</h3> + +<p>It's easy to tell when the web site you are viewing is using an encrypted + connection. If the connection is encrypted, the lock icon in the lower-right + corner of the browser window is locked. If the connection is not encrypted, + the lock icon is unlocked.</p> + +<p>If you want additional warnings, you can select one or more of the warning + checkboxes in the SSL preferences panel. Some people find these warnings + annoying.</p> + +<p>To activate any of these warnings, select the corresponding checkbox:</p> + +<ul> + <li><strong>Loading a page that supports encryption</strong>: Select this + warning if you want to be reminded whenever you are loading a page that + supports encryption.</li> + <li><strong>Loading a page that uses low-grade encryption</strong>: Select + this warning if you want to be reminded whenever you are loading a page + that supports low-grade encryption. (Low-grade encryption is the weakest + encryption available, using 40-bit keys.)</li> + <li><strong>Leaving a page that supports encryption</strong>: Select this + warning if you want to be reminded whenever you are leaving a page that + supports encryption for one that does not.</li> + <li><strong>Sending form data from an unencrypted page to an unencrypted + page</strong>: Select this warning if you want to be reminded whenever you + are submitting data over an unencrypted connection.
