Some informed people suggest that Firefox users are far less likely to
be compromised than IE users.  (This may be mostly to do with better
security usability design in Firefox.)  Banks that want to avoid the
hassles of compromised customer accounts ought to strongly encourage
people to use non-IE browsers, and to run them with ActiveX and
similar things disabled.
