Unfortunately, that is a bit over-simplified. Every time Firefox
(or other programs) makes a request through the Internet to some
other system somewhere, it has opened a pathway for that other
system to send a reply to you. Specially crafted replies and broken
filters in the programs on your machine which receive those replies
is the most common way get infected.

If you are having trouble reading this message, you should upgrade to
an email client that can understand plain text messages. This message
is not written in HTML. If you are reading it as such (eg, proportional
font), the presentation is dishonest and not what the author intended.
HTML email is *inherently* insecure and should not be used, PERIOD.
For example see <https://lutrasecurity.com/en/articles/kobold-letters/>.
