I use Firefox as my primary browser I also use chrome & opera. After many years of experimenting I have found Opera to be the most stable browser, I agree Firefox has a number of updates, and some Adons Stop working BRIEFLY. I only use IE for some Microsoft sights that will not open on other browsers. If I could I would uninstall IE completely. 
I like Firefox it is reliable as long as flash is kept current.

>If I use Firefox everything works fine. But don't really like Firefox they keep updating it constantly and my add-ons don't keep up. SO I end up with Firefox not working the way I want it to after an update for about a week to two weeks after. So that's why I have switched back to IE. But If we can't find a fix for this then I guess I'll have to live with Firefox.
