Yup mostly it is. But there is a human error danger. e.g. if you are used to login at a normal webmail a/c over Tor, and then you are on your normal firefox browser you might make a mistake, it's not as if the TBB and a firefox browser look that dissimilar when you're in a hurry.

What if you're using one computer for Tor and another computer or mobile device just to browse the web and do your normal thing?

Oh good God, then you'll definitely have abseiling drug dogs on zip lines rappelling through the skylights :o

You'll be fine.
