Comment (by datallah):

 Actually, I misspoke, the NSS 3.17.1 build that Pidgin 2.10.10 for Windows
 ships with was built with support for ECC ciphers.

 I'm actually not sure what the deal is - in theory NSS supports those
 ciphers by default, but they appear to be disabled.

 One note - it's really not just that you're disabling RC4 - you're
 actually only enabling `ECDHE-RSA-*`, which is not going to be very widely
 supported (but in theory should work with NSS 3.17.2 assuming they haven't
 disabled the ECC suites in the debian package).
