is mozzila firefox safe to download ????

Answer 1

Yes, however beware, Most websites are designed to operate with Internet explorer. Firefox is good and fast but not the same. Enhanced content may not work out of the box and additional downloads may be necessary. It may also be hard to return to Internet Explorer afterwords as all the functionality may not be their due to system changes from the FireFox install.

As a computer tech and network engineer, I would not recommend FireFox unless you have a lot of time and are very good with computers.

Answer 2

Yes, just make sure you are getting the download from firefox from the site and not from some random site, the random site could download virus and spyware on your computer.

Firefox is just like, internet explorer.. used for surfing the web, downloading things... ect.

Answer 3

Hey there,
I easily got for free Firefox here http://j.mp/1zR9Ll9
It's surely the leader program of its type
Best

Answer 4

Never used it myself, but I keep a copy in case my Internet Explorer goes out and I have to reload it. lol

As long as you download it directly from the source it is safe. other free sites may be safe or may contain a Malware version of it, which is common on the net.

I would wait a day or 2 though because they are ready to release an up date to it soon.
Here is some recent information.
((((This is for the people that keep telling me that Firefox is the miracle cure for the Internet.
I thought Firefox never had any problems! LMFAO)))

Heres the link where this report came from.

Security patches for Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey
Published: 2006-07-26,
Last Updated: 2006-07-26 23:37:47 UTC by Bojan Zdrnja (Version: 1)

The Mozilla Foundation released new versions of Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products.

New versions fix numerous security vulnerabilities, of which some are rated critical. Here's a short overview of the vulnerabilities that have been fixed:

MFSA 2006-44 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-44.html): Code execution through deleted frame reference.
This vulnerability allows remote execution and affects only Firefox 1.5 and SeaMonkey 1.0. As Thunderbird uses the same browser engine as Firefox it is vulnerable to this as well, but the JavaScript parsing function in e-mails is not turned on by default (and we recommend that it stays turned off).

MFSA 2006-45 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-45.html): Javascript navigator Object Vulnerability.
Another remote execution vulnerability, affects Firefox 1.5 and SeaMonkey.

MFSA 2006-46 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-46.html): Memory corruption with simultaneous events.
Remote execution vulnerability, affects Firefox and SeaMonkey.

MFSA 2006-47 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-47.html): Native DOM methods can be hijacked across domains.
Information leaking vulnerability, can be combined with XSS, although limited. Affects Firefox and SeaMonkey.

MFSA 2006-48 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-48.html): JavaScript new Function race condition.
Remote execution vulnerability, affects Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey.

MFSA 2006-49 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-49.html): Heap buffer overwrite on malformed vCard, affects Thunderbird and SeaMonkey.

MFSA 2006-50 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-50.html): JavaScript engine vulnerabilities
Multiple vulnerabilities which can lead to remote execution, affect Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey.

MFSA 2006-51 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-51.html): Privilege escalation using named-functions and redefined "new Object()".
Remote execution vulnerability, affects Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey.

MFSA 2006-52 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-52.html): PAC privilege escalation using Function.prototype.call
Remote script execution vulnerability through a "poisoned" PAC file. Affects Firefox and SeaMonkey.

MFSA 2006-53 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-53.html): UniversalBrowserRead privilege escalation.
Remote script execution vulnerability, affects Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey.

MFSA 2006-54 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-54.html): XSS with XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(…).
XSS vulnerability using the XPCNativeWrapper construct. Affects Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey.

MFSA 2006-55 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-55.html): Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.8.0.5).
Probably just a DoS attack, but there is a possibility that it could be turned into a remote execution vulnerability. Affects Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey.

MFSA 2006-56 (http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-56.html): chrome: scheme loading remote content
Remote script execution vulnerability that affects Firefox and SeaMonkey.


As some of these vulnerabilities are critical, it would be good if you can upgrade as soon as possible; otherwise, check for potential workarounds in the original advisories - in most cases the vulnerabilities are JavaScript related, so turning off JavaScript will help (and that goes in general).

Answer 5

This is a link where you can downlod for free Firefox http://j.mp/1zR9T49
It's a very simple and nice software.
Cheers.

Answer 6

Yep.

Get latest version from their site, with patches n' all.

Clean, simple, secure, does what it needs to do without fuss.

Marginally better than Safari.

Leaves Netscape for dead.

Leaves IE for dead, and securely enclosed in a large coffin six feet underground, where you can't smell it anymore.

Answer 7

Safe, yes.
You will get fewer popups with firefox than IE, however it locks up alot & web pages frequently are not properly viewable, so i usually use IE

Answer 8

safe to install www.firefox.com or www.mozilla.org. sometimes internet explorer won't work with some sites and mozilla will and vice versa. no you don't need to be computer experienced to use it. lots of my family members non techs, use it. very easy to use and more secure than internet explorer. but it is true that microsoft sites force you to use internet explorer, because they don't like competition.

Answer 9

Yes, it is very safe.It has a lot less security holes than IE has.I was told to download it and use it instead of IE.I have had no problems.

Answer 10

I'm using it right now. Works for me - better than the earlier version of Mozilla by far.
