Especially because, as Mozilla notes, hackers are actively exploiting this vulnerability. "We are aware of targeted attacks in the wild abusing this flaw," warns the foundation.
The vulnerability, labeled as "critical" by Mozilla, "can be used to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing."
In other words, no shady links or sketchy downloads required. Just going about your normal online business is all you need to do to be vulnerable. It's such a serious problem that even the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is warning people about it.
Thankfully, there's a fix. All you have to do is update to the latest version of Firefox, and you're set. To do so, when the browser is open, click "Firefox," then "about Firefox," and the update option.
