Mozilla currently includes EV enabled roots of CAs which do not yet

It's supposed to do so, but current Firefox versions will happily show
the EV indicator if an EV end-entity cert doesn't include an OCSP
responder URI (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413997
and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474606, and try
https://addons.mozilla.org).
