Control: grammar: change to most likely incarnation of author's original meaning, but can't be sure — please confirm…
When starting a handshake for an SSL 3 or a TLS 1 connection, Mozilla will advertise its support for the new renegotiation extension, so the server can know about it.
Should Mozilla detect that a server asks the Mozilla client to perform a renegotiation on an existing connection, Mozilla may reject or accept this rejectrequest, depending on the server software and depending on the configuration of the Mozilla client (e.g. Firefox).
<bstrong>In order to understand the following preferences to control Mozilla's behaviour, it's important to understand and carefully distinguish the terms "negotiation" “negotiation” and "renegotiation"“renegotiation”.</bstrong>
Negotiation refers to the initial handshake between client and server.
