How To Avoid Hacker Attacks On Firefox
Many web browsers will allow you to store login information. In general, we recommend against using such features. Should you decide to use the feature, ensure that you use the measures available to protect the password data on your computer. Under the Privacy category, the Passwords subcategory contains various options to manage stored passwords, and a Master Password feature to encrypt the data on your system. We encourage you to use this option if you decide to let Mozilla Firefox manage your passwords.
The Content category has an option to Enable Java. Java is a programming language that permits web site designers to run applications on your computer. We recommend disabling this feature unless required by the site you wish to visit. Again, you should determine if this site is trustworthy and whether you want to enable Java to view the site’s content. After you are finished visiting the site, we recommend disabling Java until you need it again.
The Warn me when web sites try to install extensions or themes option will display a warning bar at the top of the browser when a web site attempts to take such an action.
Press the Advanced button to disable specific JavaScript features. We recommend disabling all of the options displayed in this dialog.
