Hi

It is always impossible to guarantee security and safety online as the range of potential threats is constantly evolving. Also the browser is just one element of your security online - you should also make sure that the operating system that you are using (in your case, Windows 7) is up to date and that you are using anti-malware software to provide further protection.

In addition to this, you should also follow online safety advice in respect to shopping online. A good guide can be found here.

Firefox itself has many security features and is constantly updated to make sure that you are protected. I use Firefox myself and am very comfortable using it for online monetary transactions.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.
