Can't seem to get a definitive answer from Mozilla's site, so does anyone know if Firefox will work well with Windows 8.1?

All 32 computers in my lab are running Firefox on 8.1 as well. I haven't seen the blue screen of death in quite a while!

So long as you routinely clear out your Flash cache, it works great. However, there's so many sites out there that are Adobe-Flash-heavy in their advertising, that if you don't force-close Flash from the Task Manager every so often, it WILL lock Firefox up worse than a bank vault.

Go to plug ins and change default for flash to "ask to activate".

Worked great on my 8.1 machine, which is now a Win10 preview system. Working well on Win 10 too.

Windows doesn't work well with Windows.
