No browser is a replacement for an anti-virus and anti-spyware program, but Firefox is updated VERY often and you can add-on extensions which make it even more safe (adblocker, script blocker, etc.) Internet Explorer gets updated maybe once a month when Microsoft decides to patch a few holes, Firefox gets updated within a few days. I have been using it since version 1.3 and I have NEVER gotten a virus through firefox. I have never gotten a virus through Internet Explorer either (but that's because it usually crashes every five minutes).

use safari, sea monkey(firefox's sister) but as long as you have a good and updated anti virus it's safe enough
No web browser is infallible. Internet Explorer is built in such a way that it allows stuff to leak in without your knowledge.

Firefox is open source, meaning that lots of people have worked on it and a lot of ideas are put into it. It is built off of a more stable programming platform and it is designed to be more secure.

Firefox is better but it alone won't prevent viruses and other forms of malware. Your best bet is to run it with an antivirus/antispyware in the background.
its just safer than IE because it has no activeX stuff..i dont know about that..

you can still have virus using firefox, but definitely you will not get any virus from Firefox..haha..the best thing you can do is be safe while browsing and dont click on anything that you dont need to click onto.. also try AVG free edition for antivirus and Spybot Search and Destroy and Lavasoft Adaware.. they are all free security programs..
It is more safe compared to Internet Explorer, but you should still have a anti-virus program.
