[aklug] clarification: Firefox and TLS

I wanted to print something of a "retraction": I had been beating up on
Firefox, Chromium, and libnss for not yet having implemented TLS 1.2.
Strictly speaking, this is true, as libnss has not yet implemented the
full TLS 1.2 functionality. However, libnss has implemented most of the
/extensions/ from TLS 1.2, including the server_name extension which I
really wanted. As it was explained to me, TLS 1.0 gave us the ability to
use extensions, where as TLS 1.2 defined the extensions we really
wanted. So I'm rather happy about that.
