Not better, .. but it is a simple matter to use NN as your 'default' 
browser, .. then, **IF** you decide to pursue a site that, for example, 
requires JS to operate properly, you can open Mozilla and proceed.

It's sort of like a first line of defense - I always use NN, and only if I 
want to do something with JS, Java, or a Cookie, I transfer the URL to Mozilla.

Don't know about Mozilla mail, .. I was speaking specifically of the 
browser task. Using one browser [NN] 'locked down' with the other (Moz) 
less restricted seems like the best of both worlds.
