How come ALL of the other browsers still work? Chrome? WORKS! IE? WORKS! The problem is clearly Firefox. And this is the second "upgrade" new version that has caused me to lose work time trying to fix it. I give up and I'm moving to Chrome...

you're free to use whichever browser you want of course! (avast is in partnership with google, so they might gain from undermining the competition)
