"Firefox is not integrated with Windows", so what you're saying is that only applications that are "integrated" into windows are a security risk? Don’t talk rubbish. So if a buffer overflow vulnerability is found in Firefox, it’s some how magically not a problem just because firefox is not integrated into windows? Unfortunately that just isn’t true, if I inject code into firefox using a buffer overflow, I can get it to do pretty much whatever I like including download various malware apps.
