Are any versions of Firefox susceptable to Heartbleed bug CVE-2014-0160 ?

Do any versions of Firefox use OpenSSL? if so, which versions of Firefox would be vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug CVE-2014-0160 that has recently been identified. As covered in: http://heartbleed.com/ http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/04/critical-crypto-bug-in-openssl-opens-two-thirds-of-the-web-to-eavesdropping/

hello pjhill, no firefox (the browser) isn't affected by this vulnerability, but two mozilla web services (firefox accounts, persona) were: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/04/08/heartbleed-security-advisory/

Possibly also of interest: Does Mozilla have a plugin that will alert users when they visit a website that is still vulnerable to Heartbleed?
