But the full paragraph continues...

"(...) Users of Mozilla Firefox that are concerned about this issue 
should enable security.OCSP.require in the about:config dialog. The 
surveillance concerns of enabling OCSP are serious - a CA learns what 
sites you’re visiting. However, they are nullified by the fact that OCSP 
checking is enabled by default on Firefox at least; it simply doesn’t 
provide any security gains for the end user because when it fails, it 
fails open!"

So, finally there is no gain of having that key value enabled? :-?

If we continue reading...

"(...) Google has already shipped a fix to users. Install the latest 
Firefox to get a patch, if you haven't already. A Tor Browser update is 
in the works and will be available soon."

So the fix was released, right?
