unless you allow something to install into Firefox, it is
unlikely though possible it could have a happen. However, even if you
did allow something to install it would not harm your system. This is
because that which makes linux itself immune to viruses is still in
intact even if you import a problem into your system.

do you have a problem with email? Youre on a email list and youre
texting. Might not go over well.

Why rebuild what is not broken? Do you have java installed? Are you
having a problem?
