The incident mentioned in the article has nothing to do with Firefox being hacked. Apparently the wiki software they were running was buggy.

Um, yes, it does have something to do with Firefox being hacked. Any networked computer is only as secure as the least secure component running on it. Clearly, the "more eyes creates better security" theory is blown to shreds for the vast number of open source projects.

I'm not following you, is this intended as a counterpoint to my statement? My response mentioned nothing about this site in particular and how it was hacked. I simply added a comment relevant to the article about the fact that more of Firefox's flaws are being discovered as it's following increases.
