Windows 7 - 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, if
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 using
NoScript, you have added it to your copy of Firefox.
