An old version IIRC, and it's only if you have javascript enabled.

Firefox 17, which is indeed an old version but it's what Firefox's Extended Support Release is based on. It's also what's being used in the Tor Browser Bundle, which is what was targeted here.

And yes, the exploit required you to have JavaScript enabled.
