Excellent browser.Nothing is 100% safe these days,but mozilla is alot safer and there is alot less exloits in mozilla as compared to IE.The U.S security released a statement last week asking people to stop using IE because of all the exploits,and they recommended using an alternative browser.You will also notice alot less pests on your pc.

TAKE CARE!!

I've heard that some banks don't allow Mozilla to connect to their secure sites, but mine all allow it. It does great blocking pop-ups/unders. All in all, IMHO, it beats IE by a bunch.

Ya, nothing is secure, but Firefox definately beats teh crap outta IE. I use it for banking and its fine. Also, there's a ton of firefox extensions that make it even more unbelievable, especially Adblock! Try it out!
