Firefox 13.0.1 was released to address problems encountered after the Adobe Flash Player update caused Firefox to freeze or crash (see Flash Player Update Causes Firefox Crashes).

The Flash Player update included Protected Mode for users of Firefox 4.0 and greater on Windows Vista and higher.  The purpose of Protected Mode is to limit the impact of attacks launched from malicious Flash content (SWF files).

Edit Note:  Also see Adobe Flash Player "Plug-in Version" Updated
