Thanks! So it reduces the latency, but I don't really understand why
that is called "false" start. What's false about it? ;)
TLS (the successor to SSL) is a protocol acting as a layer of security
on top of another protocol like HTTP. Part of the protocol is a
so-called handshake between the client and the server. Only once that
handshake is complete, the two involved parties shall exchange actual
data (e.g. request/send HTML pages, images etc.). Now TLS False Start
intentionally violates that agreement by allowing to send application
data before the handshake has been completed (mutually acknowledged)
in order to reduce the time it takes to establish the connection.
And why does it have to show up as it do in the security tab?
Well, the Mozilla platform developers added permissions for it so that
this new behavior can be disabled per site. It's only that SM
developers haven't added a translation (more readable version) of the
string yet. Here you can see the ones that are already mapped:

I also filed a bug to get this fixed:

Jens, thanks a lot for taking the time to explain, greatly appreciated!
