Firefox is not intgrated to the OS, because it doesn't have an OS. Its just a trimmed Mozilla for windows.. However Mozilla in Linux is integrated at some level...so they are just the same as I.E.

Firefox avoids several fundamental design flaws of IE, in that: -Firefox is not integrated into Windows, and thus closes holes allowing access to the OS. -Firefox does not support ActiveX JavaVM or VBScript, three Microsoft proprietary technologies that are responsible for many security holes. -Firefox does not allow for the invasion of your system by adware and spyware just by visiting a website.
