Each copy has a mostly-random version number. There are thousands of different version numbers such as 1009.99.992. That can't happen by accident. It's probably to thwart the Firefox block list.
Mozilla is putting the bogus version numbers on the Firefox blocklist. When Firefox adds add-on signing soon, the bogus versions should stop working.
As yet, we haven't seen the actual fake add-on that's doing this. I'd like to know what the attack is doing, and how it gets installed.
