Safe browsing with Firefox

PC using Vista Home Premium
When using Firefox for (eg) internet banking, which is the better approach
as regards security:
(1) to run Firefox in Safe Mode, or
(2) to run Firefox with its default add-ons, making sure that the NoScript
add-on is one of them?

1. If you run Firefox in Safe Mode, extensions are disabled. Thus, i
you are using NoScript, but are in Safe Mode, NoScript is not in use

2. There are no "default add-ons" for Firefox; if you are usin
NoScript, you have added it to your copy of Firefox
