> What percentage of critical vulnerabilities in Firefox were due to memory safety issues?

The vast majority of them.

(I haven't done the exact analysis, but I have performed similar ones and the fact that memory safety issues dominated was clear. Note also that I am not claiming that solving memory safety issues is a panacea. "Merely" that we're defending against the vast majority of critical security vulnerabilities.)
