I don't think that the problem was that Firefox or the OS weren't secure enough. Afaik the problem was that FireGPG worked inline with the original page, and thus a hostile JS on the page could intercept the plaintext.

I think something like the "It's all text!"[1] addon with GPG enabled editor should be reasonably secure.
