Is FireFox helpful?

Question

I'm starting to download FireFox to end this nightmare, but I wonder, is it safe?

Answer 1

Of course it is. It's safer, better and more helpful than IE.

Answer 2

Supposedly safer than IE, and also has a bunch of useful (and FREE) addons you can download for all sorts of things.

Answer 3

Yes it is better than Internet Explorer. More viruses are spread through IE. Plus, it runs a little faster than IE.

Answer 4

firefox is fast and reliable, you can customize it and add add-ons!! it is more secured than IE!! because when i use IE their is too many tracking cokkiiee that i'll recieve, so better move to Firefox!! then download the yahoo toolbar for blocking pop-ups!! keep safe! =)

Answer 5

Of course it's safe. 8 million people wouldn't have downloaded it in a day if it was c**p, would they? It wouldn't have a near 50% market share in Europe either.

Answer 6

Firefox is the best browser out there.  Firefox is fast, safe and secure, and all in all better than IE.  You can completely customize  Firefox to all of your needs with very helpful add-ons.  Firefox 3 set a world record for most downloads in one day.  Download Firefox from http://www.firefox.com/

Answer 7

Yes, Firefox is safe. Try downloading a free virus scanner if you are unsure. File Hippo is useful! I use Opera Internet Browser. It's faster and I think it's safer. Good Luck!

Answer 8

Firefox is a very nice web browser.  It is stable and allows tab browsing.  I have been using Firefox for Internet banking; it was recommended by my financial institution.

Answer 9

It is safer than your default Internet Explorer. On top of that, FF updates at least once every month, more so than IE7 or Opera ever does.

As long as you update it frequently via the "Help" menu, you are safe. There are also firefox addons that increase your privacy (e.g Adblock, NoScript, Stealther etc.).

Answer 10

YES! Firefox is actually very safe especially compared to IE and its problems. There are several addons you can get for it as well such as Ad-Block and No Script which can add to the security

Answer 11

Better question: is anything safe? for the latter part yes it is plus there are add-ons that make it even safer like AD block plus and no script. And it crashes WAY less than IE 7

Answer 12

The only thing that really makes firefox safer is the fact that less people use it so less hackers try to exploit it.
