Serious PSA: FireFox Zero Day Exploit
If you are using FireFox - switch to Chrome, IE, Safari, Opera until further notice. This reportedly impacts Tor Browser and FF v45-50.
If you don't know what I am talking about but use Firefox, stop and switch for a while.

This affects nobody other than those running Windows that use the Tor Project’s anonymizing TorBrowser within Firefox.

Until a patch is available, Firefox users should use an alternate browser whenever possible, or they should at the very least disable JavaScript.

I just came across this. Any comments John?
Update at 2:32pm PST / 5:32pm EST: Firefox released a fix for this a few minutes ago. Update to Firefox 50.0.2 now to patch this vulnerability. Tor have also released a fix with version 6.0.7 of their browser.There is also a Thunderbird fix out, version 45.5.1. I also posted an extended update at the end of the post including data indicating this exploit may be part of a law enforcement operation.
/End Update.
