I think at the moment you can only get Windows updates with IE....
although I seem to remember that I've seen something recently about the
possibilities of using browsers other than IE to get the updates....

I've just answered your "More Firefox" post. No reason to start a new
thread to continue a discussion.
You need to keep Windows updated to keep you safer from all the *other*
threats that do not include browsing situations.
Do you have a firewall?

Exactly as was written, subject = Firefox, question was do you need
windows update still.
Your interpretation was whether he could access the windows update page
with firefox.

Only answer to Nowhere's question is: Yes.
Nowhere, it doesn't matter if you have Firefox/Opera/whatever, the rest
of the OS still needs patches.
It was an ambiguous question though, wasn't it?
Microsloth (unless recently changed) only accepts Internet Exploder at
the update web site. But you don't need to do that if you allow the OS
to update itself.
