  Yes, there are security risks associated with enabling third-party cookies on Firefox for digital currency exchanges. These risks primarily stem from the fact that third-party cookies can track your online activities and gather information about your browsing habits. This information can then be used by advertisers or other third-party entities to target you with personalized ads or even sell your data to other companies. Moreover, there is also a risk of encountering malicious websites or scripts that can exploit vulnerabilities in your browser or device. To mitigate these risks, it is recommended to use browser extensions or settings that block third-party cookies, regularly update your browser and operating system, and exercise caution when visiting unfamiliar websites or clicking on suspicious links.
