mithrj, welcome to Apple Discussions.

Cookies are necessary to view & use many sites. However, as explained in the above link, your web usage can be tracked.

I think you mean Firefox browser. I don't believe either browser is unsafe. I use Firefox because it has some features that Safari doesn't have.
