Firefox crashes
I am having issues with firefox, it keeps crashing on me and sometimes I get an error message saying something to the effect of a plugin Container has cause a problem loading the page or something like that. It also won't let me install microsoft Silverlight I get an error message saying that Silverlight isn't compatiable with Firefox 64 bit. So I can't watch Netflix because the movies won't stream, they just load and load and load but never play. I had to resort over to Google Chrome which I don't really like.What do I need to do? How do I fix this ?
Thanks, Lynn Mullaney
