TB 78.4 does not seem to be respecting tls.version.min

I previously had to set tls.version.min to 1 when moving from 68 to 78 and that was fine. Now after upgrading from 78.3 to 78.4 the connection fails again despite the minimum tls version being set to 1.

Looking at the connection in wireshark, in the Client Hello, the supported versions are given as:

Extension: supported_versions (len=5)

   Type: supported_versions (43)
   Length: 5
   Supported Versions length: 4
   Supported Version: TLS 1.3 (0x0304)
   Supported Version: TLS 1.2 (0x0303)


which then causes the expected

Alert Message

   Level: Fatal (2)
   Description: Protocol Version (70)


The cipher suite chosen by the server hello is included in the client hello so they're not mismatching for what it's worth.

What is the server address name? You'll need to post more of the wireshark.

The mail server is mail.blacknight.com and the Wireshark overview is as follows, I'd add the actual pcapng if it was possible.

you may try also with increasing the timeout settings (in about:config). their are also few other related settings to assists TB with older/unsafe protocols.

and if you want to, you may use a second-TB, a v68 series TB, for that email account. more info.

as usual, "mail protection" should be disabled unless it has an "EXCEPTION" sub-option, then add IMAP/POP3 & SMTP, etc into exception list . make sure your AV/SS has "Scan files on access" enabled. use smk code as password for mail-account in TB, if your MSP supports that. or use OAuth2 (enable cookie) for mail-account in TB. more info.
