do I need an antivirus program like McAfee with firefox?
I see firefox has antivirus, but will it take the place of my McAfee when I switch from IE, also will it work with my mail provider and one last question how do I make the lettering on the web page larger? thank you.

Firefox does not have antivirus, it is just a web browser. You still need an antivirus program and a firewall. Firefox does include phishing protection, by default when you visit a site it checks it against a list maintained by Google to see if the site is a known web forgery or known to contain malware, it will then warn you about the site.
It should work with web based mail sites, though some web based mail sites may have some differences using Firefox compared to IE.
To make the lettering larger see the text zoom and page zoom articles. If you want all sites to have larger text, you can use an add-on such as NoSquint.
thank you for your prompt and informative answer.
