Mozilla First To Patch Pwn2Own Browser Vulnerability

Constantine the Less writes "Mozilla has released Firefox 3.0.8 to fix a pair of code execution holes that put users of the browser at risk of drive-by download attacks. It includes a fix for one of the flaws exploited during this year's CanSecWest Pwn2Own hacker contest. The update also fixes a separate zero-day flaw disclosed earlier this week on a public exploit site. Both issues are rated 'critical,' Mozilla's highest severity rating."

10.3 has universal binaries

[Dog135]

All versions of OSX have universal binary support. Every application is a folder with a ".app" extension. Inside the folder are sub-folders for the binary for each system.

A fast Google search for "os x" 10.3 "universal binary" will show that many applications have universal binary downloads that support 10.3.

If you look at Mozilla's site, however, they say they no longer support Firefox 2.x. Why drop support of their previous major version? They could at least provide security updates.
