Spywareblaster's Protection Question

I apologize if this has been asked previously ...

Regarding Spywareblaster's protection and Spybot's Immunize function/bad download blocker, both state that it is for Internet Explorer.

Now my question is, is it worth using/required if you do not use Internet Explorer to browse with? If you just use IE to update Windows and use Firefox for browsing, would I be correct in assuming that there is no benefit in having them enabled? (I am excluding the possibility of installing spyware through downloaded programs)

Thank you for any help

 

I have the same question. Hope someone post a reply soon.
Many thanks (in advance) if they do.

While trying to download SB I found the following description at MajorGeeks.
I"t's main features include:
- Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
- Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
- Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer. "
