There have been many extension issues that sometimes requires a clean reinstall to resolve, and the extensions themselves are not free of defects: FireFTP, Firebug. Wizz RSS News Reader, etc... which is why IE add-ons (IE had extensions 1st) are far more superior. | Excluding ActiveX from the browser is another obvious choice to improve security. Mozilla browsers are not 100% ActiveX compatible therefore 10-15% of web sites aren't completely compatible with them, which is why the majority favour IE. Mozilla browsers are more safer to be running on MS OSes than on Linux OSes (excluding SEL), due to Linux lacks multiple levels of authorisation.
