What difference in cache implementation of firefox and chrome affected twitter?

Twitter released a statement that is worded and advertised in the severity of a data breach, where it blames it on differences in Firefox's implementation of caching. They are also greeting every firefox user with a prompt: a prompt.

I'd like to be aware of this difference, so it doesn't affect the websites I work on. The wording doesn't suggest a bug in the implementation, but it seems to blame Firefox. Assuming that it wasn't a bug, I'd like to know if Firefox's implementation is deviating from the standard, or if this is another case of the more popular's browser's implementation being considered the "standard."

a detailed explanation was posted on Mozilla technical blog (although it's not entirely clear this got to the exact set of heuristics that was assumed)
