about:config is a URL that you can visit. You can then click on the
the setting to modify it's value. You can also type in a pattern to use
as a filter so that there are less settings shown.

Depnding on what you are really worried about, you might be better off totally
disabling the checking the bad certificate list instead of bothering to
have the black list block access to web pages. Sending all of the certifictes
you visit to the CA to verify may be a bigger security risk than being
tricked into visiting a web page with an incorrectly issued certificate.
