I'm running Win7 Ultimate on my I5 Desktop..Firefox 39.0 is my current default browser. I wish they'd stop forcing Flash updates without making sure that they install properly. To view flash,I had to download Chrome,which works just fine.I am hoping that a revised update will resolve the problem so that I can go back to Firefox.I prefer it because it is so easy to customize. Does anyone know WHEN a fix is coming?
