Is Firefox safe?

Hi guys,

Before I start, I would like to remind you that a new update for iTunes 11, iTunes 11.0.1.12 is out. There is a few bug fixes. Update with Apple Software Update app now!

I realized I've been just so off topic recently, so I will write more things that are ON topic. So a lot of people ask this question, Is Firefox safe?

As I am a user of Firefox, one of the few in my year at school, Firefox is recommended in our school, which is a quite a good thing. Firefox (Or Mozilla) is non-profit organization which only gets money from donations, and try to make one of the best browsers in the world, which is one of the main reasons I like Firefox.

Sometimes you don't only judge a good internet browser by it's speed and user number, but by different aspects. Judging a internet browser is a very hard job, because the main purpose is for surfing the internet, no matter if you are using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox or whatever browser you use.

The important part of a browser is safety, other than speed, user number and user friendliness. Some people (For example, my mom) thinks that Firefox is a very dangerous browser, but is it really one?

I think the people have the wrong idea of thinking Firefox is not safe because they don't know it well. I would say it's actually the safest browser. The Firefox team did not really do a lot of fancy designs on their browser, for example Internet Explorer 9, or Google Chrome, pratically making it faster by not scanning for viruses.

Although Firefox is not a very fast browser, or a very user friendly, but what it always make sure is safety. Looking at the Firefox webpage, there is a whole page just for introducing their security system on Firefox. If you don't believe me, you can check here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/security/

Well concluding, really, Firefox is the saftest browser you can find. And don't forget, they are doing this for free, and they do not get a single penny other than donations. Support Firefox!
