Tor Browser users:

NoScript and other popular Firefox add-ons open millions to new attack
http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/04/noscript-and-other-popular-firefox-add-ons-open-millions-to-new-attack/

The researchers provide a CROSSFIRE tool to analyze them.
Google search:
CrossFire: An Analysis of Firefox Extension-Reuse

Of course, one more reason to be careful about using add-ons in TB.
