I recommend running the FF extension (add-on) called
NoScript. This will keep you quite safe.

Initially you'll have to tell it what to allow - and you'll
always have to consider allowing something temporarily when
a site doesn't work. BUT - when the latest hole in FF was
discovered, and I ran a test for it, NoScript successfully
protected me.
