A firewall will offer no protection.
A firewall *can* offer *some* protection, if the firewall is used to limit what is allowed via HTTP. IE, if you don't allow Java, Javascript, or ActiveX through your firewall, your better off than if you do. But it is a firewall thing, not an "IE vs Netscape" thing.
