I can't access the Firefox bug, so I have no idea whether I care. Does this matter to users who don't use TOR or a proxy?

Its already fixed.
The problem was URLs start with file://

And only Linux & Mac was affected

See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24136

I dont think this affect non-TOR users
