- tinus_hn 9y ago> having a separate certificate store made it safe against nasty BIOS level viruses Sorry but that’s just wishful thinking. In this regard Firefox is less of a target than Chrome/Internet Explorer because it isn’t the dominant monoculture, similar to how Mac OS is less of a target than Windows. That doesn’t mean its safe.
