    No - firefox is good. It will not affect any of your othe software - you can even continue using Internet Explorer if you wish.

    trust me

    Anyone updated Firefox in the past week? I have and it seems to stall for quite a time when connecting to a site. Must be a Firefox bug as Chrome is peforming OK on my laptop. Uninstall and re-install the answer? I still prefer Firefox to the others.

    Actually We noticed at home that Firefox seemed to have really slowed up but haven't done any updates. Maybe they've been fiddling with it?

    I generally don't use Firefox much these days - became too bloated, which is ironic as it initially gained popularity for being lean and fast

    Chrome and Internet Explorer are the go to browsers for me at the moment.

    Thanks Coach. Might try using chrome. Glad I searched for the thread tho. Worth it to find a geek topic started by the late great tech guru, TLH.

    I have been using Chrome for the last 2 years - but have recently found that it utilises over half of my RAM (I have 4GB) to do normal web browsing. So I switched back to Firefox which is running with issue so far - apart from the occasional fault with Flash plug-in.

    Can you get to the main websites at least?

    If not, try this: http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/mozilla/...t/win32/en-US/

    I got offered a free upgrade to 10 last week. Gonna go for it and see what happens. Am unsure if I'm going to like it, but free is free!
    Still have 7 on the recovery partition too

    Wasn't looking for any particular OS, this is just what came with the laptop I bought.
