Does anyone use Firefox? I used to use it a few years ago until it got too bloated and I then switched to Chrome. Firefox allows lots of extensions that IE may not allow. Anyone tried it on the Surface?

2 of my customers are using Firefox on their Surface systems and are quite happy with it, and its functionality. The only problem is that Mozilla gave up, for now, developing a Metro interface for it. But the extensions still work and they get to sync everything from their desktops to the Surface which works really well.

Windows 8.1 is not more vulnerable than XP
There are few free antivirus that are better than defender
You can activate track protection in IE and that will take care of Ads

This works great for ads. you will need to take ownership of the folder to make changes to the hosts file.
