POODLE: A new SSL vulnerability

In Firefox 26.0 (a reasonably stable older version) I first changed "security.tls.version.min" from 0 to 1. Ran the Poodle test and was not vulnerable.

Perhaps stupidly(??) I then changed back to 0 and re-ran Poodle, now I'm vulnerable, OK so far, that makes some sense.

*** Changed back to 1 and still vulnerable (wtf?)
Restarted Firefox with it set to 1, still vulnerable...

Any idea what is going on here? Do I have to reboot WinXP?

Obvious suggestion, clear your cache?

Also try rebooting; Mozilla likes to leave processes running in memory, so your settings may not have really reloaded when you thought you restarted the browser.
