Mozilla Firefox is a good browser to start with, but third-party extensions make it great. That's especially apparent when it comes to web browser security, as shown by the following add-ons.
1: NoScript
If you install only one extension, make sure it's NoScript. By default, it blocks all scripts — a good thing. That's because bad guys love to use scripts to install malware. This way, you decide whether JavaScript, Java, and other content are allowed to run.
2: BetterPrivacy
Several members recommended BetterPrivacy as the best way to control Flash cookies. Flash cookies are difficult to remove, do not expire and can re-create deleted HTTP cookies. After much testing, I know BetterPrivacy works, whereas controlling Flash cookies using Adobe's website is questionable.
For the rest of the list see TechRepublic.
