not true, any web page can theoretically be taken over and be made to contain malicious code and if you don't know what you are doing, you can be bit, it's better to run $30 of software then pay some person $30 an hour to remove it. Firefox is pretty good about not executing things it shouldn't but there are always security flaws.
