You know that TOR's build of Firefox is v17, aka the vulnerable version right?
Firefox development went to *@&% when they decided to go on the rapid release schedule. It was stupid of them to release a new version every 6 weeks, with improvements that amounted to what is barely a patch
They don't care about enterprise users and other "long term" users:

Thus TOR stuck with version 17, since it is nominally "long term support". But its not like Firefox actually tried very hard to support it. Long term support editions get patches rolled out slower than mainstream versions.
