Will Firefox block all SSL in the future, or just SSLv3?

I have some panicked people in my office, so I decided to go the source. "They" heard... I do not know where... that Firefox's next update would block ALL SSL, therefore any website we need to log into will be blocked. From what I can see on this support site, nothing is coming that is different from what happened in December 2014 in response to Poodle with the SSLv.3.

I need to settle the ruffled feathers: will Firefox still work with SSL in the future?

Thank you very much for your time :)

That's a crazy rumor.

As far as I know, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.0 will continue to work for many, many versions.

If someone needs to confirm, they can download a "future" version and try it out. It's probably least disruptive to use the unofficial "Portable" build for testing:
