I would worry about it if I have never installed the browser and have firefox.exe running.
  angela  

So how come I have 14 firefox.exe processes still running although I just ended the application with winxp task manager? Even with normal close window those 14 firefox.exe still keep running oO
  Oh ye?  

firefox browser is not dangerous but a worm named zasran can create a process "firefox.exe" which restarts ur computer periodically
  Adi  

sometimes it takes up 99% CPU usage for seemingly no reason. there is only one process and it can be terminated without coming back on its own. perhaps it is a conflict with internet explorer but i need IE in order to do the windows updates. the windows updates refuse to work with firefox so it seems like i have to keep both. any feedback is appreciated at majikmoneyvoodoo@yahoo.com

This is a program now that is less safe that IE. IE has gotten better security now, and it has now more SSL protection than firefox.
