Mozilla on Thursday patched 11 vulnerabilities in Firefox, more than half of them labeled "critical."

Of the 11 flaws fixed in Firefox 3.0.11, six were rated critical, one "high," two "moderate" and two "low" in Mozilla's four-step system.

Firefox 3.0.11 can be downloaded for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, but current users can also call up their browser's built-in updater or wait for the automatic update notification, which should pop up in the next 48 hours.

Note: The fixes includes patches for security vulnerabilities identified in April and early May of this year. It's now the middle of June.

So much for (a) the claim that Firefox is more secure than IE and (b) the claim that when Firefox does have security issues it patches them more quickly than IE.
