Mozilla Corp. late yesterday patched 13 bugs in Firefox, nearly half of them labeled "critical," as it closed support for the two-year-old Firefox 2.0 by releasing that version's final security update.

Firefox 3.0.5 fixes a total of 11 flaws, six rated "critical," one "high," one "moderate" and three "low" in Mozilla's four-step scoring system. Most of the critical bugs could be used by hackers to crash the browser, introduce their own malicious code into a vulnerable system or both.
