Cnet News.com said Firefox 3.0.9 targets 12 security vulnerabilities:
Cnet news.com wrote:Mozilla released an update to Firefox 3 on Tuesday that patches 12 security vulnerabilities, four of which it rated as critical.
Firefox 3.0.9, the Web browser's third update this year, fixes two critical vulnerabilities in the Firefox browser engine and two in its JavaScript engine, according to a security advisory


I don't know how they counted 12.

Further, this is a very interesting one also from that linked Cnet news.com:
Cnet news.com wrote:In March, security testing company Secunia reported that Mozilla had more vulnerabilities in its Web browser last year than Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera combined, but that Mozilla dealt with those flaws quicker than Microsoft.
