Firefox is a nice browser which provides various cool features and tools to use direct from browser. Firefox has also various options to protect your web brwsing from malicious websites and other forms of attacks. You can also encrypt your web browsing to protect yourself from Man in the middle attack. There are many websites running over HTTPS to protect user data but still most of the websites are using simple HTTP. So this is a nice practice to protect your data yourself.
There is a nice FireFox addon HTTPS Everywhere which encrypt your web browsing by changing all your web surfing to HTTPS protocol even if the website is running on HTTP.
