/* 1201: require safe negotiation
* Blocks connections (SSL_ERROR_UNSAFE_NEGOTIATION) to servers that don't support RFC 5746 [2]
* as they're potentially vulnerable to a MiTM attack [3]. A server without RFC 5746 can be
* safe from the attack if it disables renegotiations but the problem is that the browser can't
* know that. Setting this pref to true is the only way for the browser to ensure there will be
* no unsafe renegotiations on the channel between the browser and the server.
