Why is security.ssl3.dhe_dss_aes_256_sha set to "false" on Firefox 33.0?

I just noticed that on Firefox 33.0 release (WinXP home 32 bit), the security.ssl3.dhe_dss_aes_256_sha is set to "false" by default. But not the releated weaker security.ssl3.dhe_dss_aes_128_sha, which is still at "true".

It must have happened on one of the latest versions.

Why has the former been disabled?
