In NSS, it has always been at the end, as far as I know. Not too long ago, NSS was changed to always use the TLS extension instead of the SCSV except for SSL 3.0; see [1] for why. However, in retrospect, this might have increased the amount of TLS extension intolerance seen by NSS-based applications, if some servers are intolerant to the renegotation_info extension but not other ones sent by NSS. In the case of TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV, it was assigned the value { 0x56, 0x00 }. >From past experience, we know that some implementations only look at the second byte of the value. This means that some implementations may confuse TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV with { 0x00, 0x00 }, which is TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL. Thus, if you put TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV ahead of any real cipher suites, some implementations may attempt to negotiation TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL, especially if that implementation is attempting to honor the client's cipher suite preference order. If that were to happen, the best case scenerio is that your client will refuse the server's choice of TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL, which is not good. By putting TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV at the end, you avoid this problem with these broken servers, assuming you offer some cipher suite that they actually support. See [2]. Note that these kind of broken servers are the reason you'd be doing TLS intolerance fallback in the first place.
