  2. Today's World Wide Web is more dangerous than ever. This is true even when you're using a Mozilla Firefox downloadbrowser, which is often perceived as a "secure browser." On its generic state, Firefox won't be able to guard your computer from all of the hazards, especially if you like visiting "dangerous sites." So, to further improve your browser's security features, here are some add-ons you must know.

  3. Add-ons are basically features that are created mostly by third parties and may be integrated into your Mozilla Firefox downloadbrowser. There are many types of add-ons. Some of them are for aesthetic purposes but the most famous ones are meant to make your browsing experience more secure. They help save your computer from suffering damages caused by viruses. There are five add-ons that are well-known for their safety capabilities.

  4. The first of these add-ons is called BetterPrivacy. This one recognises and protects your systems from "super cookies." Take note that a lot of the sites you visit everyday actually install simple cookies on your browser. They use these cookies to take note of your preferences and customise the content they serve you through them. Super cookies on the other hand cannot be easily deleted or even detected – unless you have a feature like BetterPrivacy installed in your Firefox downloadbrowser.

  5. Another add-on you can download and install to your browser is called NoScript. It can block malicious scripts, which in turn can infect your computer. With this add-on installed on your Mozilla Firefox download browser, you'll also be able to view JavaScript, Java, and other potentially dangerous content but only from sites that you approve as trusted.

  6. Meanwhile, Stealther lets you browse sites without essentially revealing information about you. It disables your Firefox download browser's history. As the name implies, you can go surfing around the Web without fearing that you'll be traced through cookies. It can also disable your file history, forms information, and disk cache. Web Of Trust (better known as WOT) also acts as a look-out while your surfer the Web through your Mozilla Firefox downloadbrowser. It detects sites that may harm your computer with spam. It will also warn you when you're about to enter a website that could be a source of infection or scam.

  7. The most popular security add-on for the Firefox downloadbrowser, however, is still Adblock Plus. Hundreds of thousands of copies of this add-on are download each and every week. That's because it hits two birds with one stone. It blocks banners and ads, preventing your from clicking possible dangerous links. The blocking of ads also makes your browsing experience more enjoyable since you can focus on content and not on advertisements.
