Is Firefox 36.0.1 safe from the Freak bug?
I've heard, for the most part, that Firefox 36.0.1 is safe from the Freak bug, but a few reports indicate this might not be so. Is there any definitive word on the question? If Firefox isn't safe, does anyone know about the development of a patch?

However some security related programs, do or did in the past fiddle with certificates and intercept communication and could make you less safe.

Thank you, John99 and all the other contributors. My browser passed the test. I wasn't sure, though, how to use the two other web pages you listed. Is there any other way to evaluate my software for security risks?
The main basic steps are
- Keep everything up to date
- Use Anti-Virus software
- Try to be aware of risks and good practice.
