Hello,

You can use the latest version of Firefox in Windows 8.1. You can download it from here.Download Firefox. As per Microsoft Compatibility Center mentioned that Firefox 27 works fine with Windows 8.1, I think there should not be problem in using it. You can find it here Widows Compatibility Center

Let us know if you have any difficulties in using Firefox in windows 8.1 Regards Safwan
