Are Firefox add-ons, extensions, plug-ins etc. downloaded from Firefox's site safe on a Mac? What about when an add-on updates? Does Firefox police any of this?
I just read a USA Today article today about online Banks and browsers being infected and allowing hackers to get access to passwords and accounts. If you are interested:

I'm not picking on Firefox, I happen to be using Firefox and that's why I am asking.
Any thoughts in general regarding my question or the article? Thanks.
