Windows 8 & Mozilla

Bramela · 09-07-2012, 03:43 PM

I have been having a bit of a look into Windows 8, out of curiosity.
I have found that there could be a non compatibility problem between Windows 8 and Mozilla Firefox 15 (the latest Firefox ver), causing internet connection to repeatedly crash.
Anybody, who is looking into Win8 experienced this problem or similar? Any way round it?

Yeah! Stay with Windows 7!

Yep, my thoughts exactly, What I have seen Win8 is a no goer.

I had a problem with IE10 crashing in Windows 8 RP and fixed with the following:
Open the Run window (Windows key + R)
type: inetcpl.cpl and press enter
On Internet Properties window, select the Advanced tab
On Browsing group, unselect the option "Enable third-party browser extensions*"
Restart your computer

I also run FF 15.0.1 and don't have a problem.

I quad boot on my homebuilt 6-core PC :
