If you'd like a safer internet surfing experience, consider adding the "NoScript" add-on to your Firefox browser.
There's just way too many bad guys out their that would like to find a way to exploit your system. Malicious code from a web site can do this to you via allowed java, adobe flash, Microsoft Silverlight, Active X type scripting.
For a while now, I've been listening to Steve Gibson (Security Now podcast) and he strongly recommends that you disable scripting. However, if scripting is disabled there's a strong chance that many unknown websites you visit will not work correctly. Well there's a great Firefox add-on that can assist you. NoScript allows JavaScript, Java (and other plug-ins) only for trusted domains of your choosing (i.e. your bank, or other routing sites you've come accustomed to trusting.) This "whitelist" based pre-emptive blocking approach prevents exploitation.
Check it it out by searching for "NoScript"
Tools | Add-ons | Get Extensions
In the search bar, type in "noscript"
Here's a direct link to it... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
I've just installed it. I'll provide an update later.
