Security is a matter of concern when you browse the net. An Add-ons of firefox will do just that for you.
The firefox add-on called NoScript, this tool provides extra protection to your Firefox. It allows Java Script, Java and other executable content to run only from trusted domains of your choice, e.g. your home-banking web site, guarding your "trust boundaries" against cross-site scripting attacks (XSS) and Clickjacking attempts, thanks to its unique ClearClick technology.
After you have downloaded and installed this add-on, look in the bottom right corner at the little S with the cross-out symbol.
When you click on it, then there appears a Sub-menu which allows you to choose how to handle scripts on the page you're at. The safest way to go is not to allow any scripts. You'll never fall victim to code that doesn't run.
But some sites won't work without scripts so, the next safest thing is to Temporarily allow only the scripts you need and or trust. A lazier and slightly less safe method is to temporarily allow all on a page.
The next more convenient level, but also next less safe is to permanently allow scripts either individually or all for a page. This becomes necessary for things like your Bank's website or Google Docs where you don't want to constantly allow scripts every time you launch your browser. If you permanently allow scripts from a site, you're putting your trust in that site that it will never allow itself to be infected by a malicious script.
NoScript firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox, Flock, Seamonkey and other mozilla-based browsers.
