Antivirus advised for Firefox?
I'm considering switching to Firefox from IE, due to virus problems despite having paid-up antivirus protection. I'm told Firefox is "fairly" immune to viruses, but do you still advise any particular protection, free or fee-based? Do some work better with Firefox than with IE?

AV protects the OS not the browser. However Firefox is safer from malware with the right add-ons. You'd have to use Mac or some flavor of Linux or BSD to be safe from viruses,
