The firefox malware seems logical, probably the easiest way to bust the site users... but only after the FBI took the server over. It was a tor hidden service, and i don't remember any details being given about how they physically located the server in the first place? In the case of the silk road it was supposedly busted code, a captcha that leaked the real servers IP, but i don't recall what (if any) explanation was given for playpen..
