1. Not sure of security issues

but I've been using Firebird for awhile and just started using Firefox.
I think it's great, better than that crap IE.

Edit to let you know I'm running it on XP pro

Using MozillaFirebird. Popup blocker works great. I clean less than half a dozen spyware files from my comp a week. Used to get twice that many when I still used IE. Firebird is still in beta last I checked, but seems pretty stable. Some nifty features too. The download manager is nice. Haven't heard of any major security issues yet. I rarely us IE anymore unless I have to.

The standard Mozilla is basically Netscape with a popup blocker. But it's pretty good too if you have an older computer.
