Aloha, I get anxious, sometimes very anxious when I wonder how safe my financial and personal information is online using my phone. We do not have a laptop, tablet, or desk PC, I have an unlimited data plan thru total wireless and it's all i use for internet oh, other than T-Mobile home internet for streaming. Don't use home internet to do anything by scroll and view. I begin to question myself, and that leads me being introduced to security systems and companies that provide VPN and other thing with initials. Reading through the material on the topics of security and privacy, it seems that I have these extra features already included through FIREFOX. But yet, nothing is as simplistic as that. Or is it? Do I have all the special security features just by using FIREFOX as my browser? I hope this isn't the most annoying topic you need to explain, comfort, assure to other people ever. Thanks, if you and just tell me what I need and how to do it for my cell that'd be super groovy awesome. Sincerely and Respectfully, Laura

Seems you maybe using an Android phone

VPN is just a way of hiding your location for 'questionable' reasons.

Loosing a phone would be an issue or someone getting access to your account.

Fingerprints can be lifted from any acquired phone, so I wouldn't use such, but then your bank accounts only use passwords etc. I imagine.

Ensure such passwords and such are unique, and do not allow Fx to fill in in forms for you and remember passwords.

If there is no record of you login details in Fx then Fx is secure in that instance. There is always phishing and quishing attacks so never download via such on a phone if you can avoid.

In any link try hovering to see what the real target is you are about to connect to, it may on the screen name your favourite bank but the link may be a spoof screen that can grab your login details etc.

Fx is secure it pretty much down to the user.

All the best.
