[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 266003, member: 20564"] I was always under the impression that firefox was pretty much the most secure browser out there for ANY operating system. In addition to that, there's a plugin I use for firefox which shows exactly which scripts are running for each page, and you can choose to allow them or not. So for a site I'll only visit once, I don't bother, but if it's a site I frequent, I'll allow the scripts there (excluding ads) - that way, you always know what's running and if it's something you should be avoiding. I believe Firefox is much safer and more secure than IE for example. I haven't heard any security problems with Firefox on macs. I don't use it all that often, because I find safari MUCH faster, but it's still a good app. I don't think you've anything to worry about with firefox. Considering there aren't any real viruses for mac (or rather, none that affect macs) there's not much one could do to attack a mac throug firefox. [/QUOTE]
