The US National Vulnerability Database says this only affects Firefox 3.6.0 and 3.6.1 running on Windows XP SP3 and Vista: http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2010-102...

Older versions are not affected because they did not support loading webfonts. I don't know why this only affects Windows and only those versions (i.e. not Win7) though...
