This is very interesting:

Looks like it's not an attack on Tor itself, rather they identify Tor users
(which Tor isn't designed to prevent AFAIK), and then do a MITM on the
connection between Tor and the web to insert some code that exploits a
vulnerability that (until recently) was distributed as part of the Tor
bundle.

Seem like, even though this Firefox vulnerability has been fixed, that they
probably have a library of other ones to choose from.
