Since learning about the serious security problem with Microsoft's Internet Explorer and the fact that AOL uses IE does it make any difference that I am accessing AOL to read my emails using Firefox? Something tells me that either way I am risking securiy problems by using AOL. Currently Using Windows 8 and Firefox.
