It does not have to be Mozilla, it could also be any website visited:
http://www.securityweek.com/hacker-uses-xss-and-google-streetview-data-determine-physical-location

Where Mozilla might be held responsible is because the corresponding bug
has had an open ticket for almost 8 years:

But perhaps I misunderstood what Sukhoi meant…
