Without cracking SSL this is not possible. The URL is encrypted along with all the headers. The only thing in plain text is the TCP/IP level data - i.e. the source and destination IP addresses.

I'd have to check for other solutions but as far as Firefox is concerned you have the choice of either a regularly downloaded list to check locally, or if you *opt-in* you can send your urls (not cookies, not server responses) to a real time checking service.
