Same thing, by the sound of it. "OCSP require" is the setting that needs to be enabled. When I checked for certificate revocation checking, I landed on a page in the Mozilla forums saying it had been removed in version 24. The admins didn't say anything about a different setting...

Be warned checking sites in the UK could be in contravention of the RIPA law and checking USA based servers breaks their equivalent law, the same goes for much of Europe, if the test uses the exploit.

Heartbleed used to uncover data from cyber-criminals http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27203766I'm guessing those doors have since been slammed shut.
