I use Firefox for normal browsing, and IE7 for financial transactions only. i could do it the other way, or with other browsers, that part does not matter much.

The most important part is not to check your bank account with your surfing browser, or make any financial transactions. This keeps cookies separate, and hopefully keeps the browser exploits to a minimum (one browser).

I use FF for normal surfing, because I like it more. I'd consider using it for financial transactions, but then I'd be stuck with IE7 or some other browser for surfing. I really like my NoScript and Adblock plus (and other add-on extensions).
