They are just as secure as any other files on your computer, it's just a regular Windows folder so there is no special security applied. You can make sure you keep your computer secure in different ways:
- Update your Operating system (you are running windows 8, you should be on 8.1 or later)
- Make sure you keep Firefox up to date
- Have a good anti-virus (the one built into Windows 8 is fine)
- Scan for malware regularly using malwarebytes
- Follow good practices and don't install software you don't trust.
