A malicious Firefox add-on discovered. Firefox users like firefox because it supported 3rd part add-ons. Most add-ons are quite useful. But because they are 3rd party, users have no idea what the add-on does behind the screen. So it affects only firefox. Add-ons will be going to many other applications. It will be a trend and so hackers will be using that trend to invade. There is no way we can know if it is safe except when the add-on been approved by the trusted source as well on most reviews it should be safe but until someone found something one can never be sure. You are responsible for what you download so have to be alert.
