I use a couple of add ons and they don't bug me for anything. I've got that "feature" turned off in the settings. I also set it to inform me of updates but do nothing. I get a notice from time to time that v15 is available but I will get to that when I get to that. I just ignore it, it is just not a problem for me.
Edit: It is good to know that there may be a conflict with Flash. I think I will wait a bit longer for the parties to work that one out! | My System Specs |

FF is updating so often now, that the appearance/themes aren't being updated quickly enough. I used to use Past Modern (looked just like Netscape 6!) but the developer couldn't keep up. I tried others and the icons/buttons seem very small. The default theme is just plain fugly, and I end up using Simple Green with "large" icons... even larger would be a big improvement. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number self-assembled OS Win7 Pro 32bit & XP Home SP3 32bit CPU AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.0GHz Motherboard ASRock 880 GM-LE Memory 2x2GB Kingston DDR3-1333 Graphics Card Integrated AMD HD4250 Sound Card Diamond Xtreme 5.1 PCI Monitor(s) Displays ViewSonic VA721 LCD Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Keyboard Compaq Professional PS/2 Mouse Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 PSU Antec EarthWatts 430D Case PC Core Ltd. mid-tower Cooling CPU: OEM.

I don't think it is stable I have repeated Black screens and it's from Graphic acceleration
It will work fine for about 10 to 15 min and then everything goes blotchy Black
It could be my Graphics card in general but IE or Chrome doesn't do this
I have Facebook as FF start page so i really don't Trip to much on the fact that i just glance at my alerts every so often but it get's annoying when you start getting into deep reading and then BAM Blotchy Black screen then i have to simply exit and when i go back it happens even faster so I don't think it's stable lol | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Built by me FX - Series Scorpious OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit sp1 CPU Vishera FX 8350 Oc' 4.812Ghz 1.488 V-core full load 50c Motherboard Asus Sabertooth 990fx rev 2.0 Memory 16gb Corsair Vengeance ram 1600mhz Oc'ed to 1750mhz Graphics Card VisionTek HD7970 Ghz.ed Bios Crossfire 1150/1560 power 10% Sound Card AC97 Monitor(s) Displays 27" ViewSonic 1920/1080dp hdmi 37in vizio hdmi dual monitors Screen Resolution 1920x1080 27"- 1920x1080 37" Keyboard Logitech wireless keyboard Mouse Logitech wireless mouse PSU HX1050w Corsair Silver 80plus certified crosfire/sli Case Thermaltake Element V Cooling Antec 620 Water cooling system and 4 120 mm LED fans Hard Drives Ocz Agility 120Gb SSD Seagate baracuda 500 Gb WD Mybook 500Gb Internet Speed Cable 25+ mb Antivirus WebRoot Spysweeper with Antivirus Browser IE-9, Chrome, Opera Other Info I have 2 systems FX AM3+ 8350-K15 Oc'ed 4.812Ghz AM2+ 965 BE Stock 3.4 Ghz Both stable Both Gaming Rigs Also Hp Notebook 1.65 ghz Dual core amd E-450 8gb Patriot Ram DDR3 Discrete Gpu Hd6320 dedicated ram 1973 mb 15.5 screen |
