Prefer Firefox but too many problems (PayPal, 64-bit Flash crash)

I like Firefox (especially the auto-fill). But I'm running into more and more problems. It doesn't work on PayPal; it doesn't work on Pandora; it doesn't work with the latest Adobe Flash player (I have Windows 7, 64-bit ... for a reason). I've tried all the guesses posted in these forums. They don't work. I'm looking for another browser (Chrome is too mouse-intensive, IE is too slow and clunky). Any suggestions, or is the Mozilla community like the Apple/Mac community? I'd rather stay with Firefox, by the way. Thanks.

Can you define what "Doesn't work" is? Explaining what exactly is failing. Thanks

1. PayPal, Firefox hangs when I go to log in (Chrome doesn't); 2. Pandora, Firefox just won't run the music ap (IE will); and 3. Adobe Flash Player, after downloading & installing the latest version, every time I click a video, Firefox crashes. I've seen others post with these same problems, but can't find solutions (lots of nice guesses; clear cache, clear cookies, try different settings ...).

Thanks

Update your Shockwave Flash v14. http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ The link for Flash Player is: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

  • Clear the Cache

Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

and

  • Remove Cookies

Warning ! ! This will log you out of all sites you're logged in to. Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences

Then Privacy. Under History, select Firefox will Use Custom Settings. There is a button on the right side called Show Cookies.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.
