Didn't notice my follow-up didn't include m.d.t.crypto, and this warning

Note that the "better fix" will be a default change for this very pref,
and any user-modified value will continue to take precedence. Please
remember to undo this change (delete the user pref) when we ship a fix
or you will not get the updates.

A bug covering Marlinspike's PoC (and others) is

Another spoof (that may or may not work depending on your font) is
described at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479413
