FireFox Better Security

clipped from blogs.ittoolbox.com Firefox: Not just a pretty browser Most people use a browser for its core purpose--surfing the Net. However, add-ons to Mozilla's Firefox make it much, much more. The following are two security areas in which Firefox add-ons provide value. Thwarting Invaders NoScript offers added security. It checks the use of the JavaScript and Java programming languages by the browser to prevent viruses or Trojans from sneaking in. Its approach is to ban all scripts from the start, only allowing them if the user gives permission for a given site. Scrambled Strokes Encryption is the tool of choice for KeyScrambler. Once installed, users no longer need worry about malware logging the keyboard strokes. Whenever sensitive login information is entered, KeyScrambler encrypts it at the driver level.

I had not heard of the second add-on before. Sounds like a good one!
