Those illicitly using Tinder? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arsonists

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'those illicitly' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'using tinder?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'using' could be 'on' (someone using drugs is 'on' them) and 'on' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for arsonists that I've seen before include "Criminals" , "people with a burning desire" .)
