 Certificates??”In Firefox, you can install and manage certificates that can be used for
validating a Web site and safely performing encryption of communications to that site.
Using the Preferences window (select Edit???Preferences and then click the Advanced
button), you can manage certificates under the Certificates heading. Select Manage
Certificates to display a window that lets you import new certificates or view certificates
that are already installed. Firefox will check that certificates you encounter are valid (and
warn you if they are not).
Along with all the excellent security features built into Firefox, it??™s important that you incorporate
good security practices in your Web browsing. Here are some general tips for safe Web browsing:
 Download and install software only from sites that are secure and known to you to be safe.
 For any online transactions, make sure you are communicating with a secure site (look
for the https protocol in the location box and the closed lock icon in the lower-right
corner of the screen).
 Be careful about being redirected to another Web site when doing a financial transaction.
An IP address in the site??™s address or misspellings on a screen where you enter credit card
information are warning signs that you have been directed to an untrustworthy site.
