Package: firefox-esr
Version: 91.6.0esr-1~deb10u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


In Firefox, suppose I go to about:config and set 

security.tls.version.max = 3

which disables TLS 1.3 and leaves TLS 1.2 as the highest security setting.  If 
I check the browser at ssllabs.com, it confirms TLS 1.2 is the highest 
available protocol and lists the appropriate cipher suites.  Yet, a number of 
websites (e.g. Google, Facebook, Youtube) connect with TLS 1.3 and a new cipher 
suite; at least, that is what I learn when I click on the lockbox in the 
address bar.  What is going on?

I have toggled 

security.tls.version.fallback-limit

between 3 and 4, but it does not seem to make any difference.  Also, how does a 
person choose the cipher suites for TLS 1.3?  They do not seem to be listed 
under 

security.ssl3

in the about:config settings.
