You don't! A distro release may see one version of FireFox included along with it. Otherwise it's a separate item you would download for use when running Limux. Being open source they just happen to make it available for Windows users as well.

For seeing pages load fast Safari outdoes FF there by a long shot and is a secure browser since you won't see the typical active x controls like IE that tend to get exploited. Most bugs are designed to get past IE since Windows is still the most widespread OS in use. Bugs bounce off Safari as well as FF while some newer ones take FF into account.
