aol.com keeps popping up in new windows, the adobe flashplayer doesn't work, even though i have the current version, it is a big problem with Windows 8. i would like to use mozilla, but it seems to be incompatible with aol.

Why not get Firefox from the source - Mozilla? You can get it here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

it does not appear that Mozilla and aol are compatible with windows 8. i keep getting error messages with the plug ins. adobe flash player does not work with mozilla, it is very slow even after updating it. i think i will just delete its usage.
