I've been using Firefox since it was Phoenix 1.0 & have never seen that kind of behavior from it. You should also check out these extensions to really lock down your browser.
Other handy extensions:
Invisiblehand - automatically find the cheapest prices if you shop online.
IE Tab+ - useful for those (now thankfully) rare websites that require you to use IE.
Greasemonkey & Greasefire - let you use small bits of javascript to modify how websites work or are displayed on your browser. One of my favorite Greasemonkey scripts is RIAARadar. It helps me avoid RIAA artists while shopping for music online. Yeah, I'm that guy.
Image Zoom - lets you zoom in & out of images on the web.
New Tab King - changes the default blank tab to show a preview of your most visited websites, similar to Chromium.
Forecastfox Weather - configurable weather updates in your status bar.
AdBlock Plus - browse the web add free. This is doubly useful as it will also keep some rogue banner ads from being ran / viewed on your browser.
Foxytunes - lets you control nearly any media player directly from Firefox.
FireFTP - a nice FTP client built right into Firefox.
DownThemAll - adds a built in download manager to Firefox.
United States English Spellchecker - exactly what is says on the box

"How is it that a lame man does not annoy us while a lame mind does? Because a lame man recognizes that we are walking straight, while a lame mind says that it is we who are limping." - Pascal
