Firefox has no built-in anti-virus or anti-malware. It has a safer browsing option that will check sites that you are visiting to see if they are known attack sites or web forgeries and will block them. The list of sites it uses is maintained by Google.

For the other problems, what is the actual error message? If you give more details about the errors that you are getting somebody may be able to help you with them.
