  Agree with above posts re FF.

  Switch back to 48.02, disable updates and you will find all is rosy.

  Think I'd - along  with others -  pointed yourself in the direction of the above when you last had issues using FF, Colin.

  Combination of later versions of FF & Adobe Flash had me doing the same roll back as you've described above.

  Have to say that at the moment I'm using FF 50.1.0 alongside AF ver 24.0.0.194 and the game plays perfectly well this end. I've also noticed an improvement in the actual graphics displayed on screen - things just appear to be more detailed.

  I've used the latest Firefox from day one in here with seldom problems. It seems like when I'm playing multiplayer matches my opponents are the ones rebooting. Just my 2 cents worth.

  Good to hear - problems were reported with Flash 22 or 23. There may be hope for better versions.

   l been useing Fire fox a while now  l  download the updates  l dont have much problem with the meter  the Browsers do go off if you do not  have a good cc cleaner, and Antivirus to help stop it from slugish  runnling.

  l find the flash will become a problem  ie bad metering if the browser is not kept updated

  Johnny I decided to try Firefox again trusting your judgement. it took only 1 CTTH round to see that at least on my PC it is not very good. The meter ran smooth for 1/4 of the meter then the final 3/4 it stuttered so badly that I couldn't even come close to hitting the ding. I  get virtually no stutters with Comodo Dragon , Comodo Ice Dragon or FlashPeak Slimjet . Though I will admit that CD and Slimjet are very old versions that use NPAPI flash instead of PPAPI pepper flash.

  In fact most of the Mozilla based browsers that I have tried are even better than Firefox on my PC. Those being Maxthon 3 Maxthon cloud Maxthon 5 and Sea Monkey.

  No worries, Joe.  Horses for courses s'pose. Most browsers you mention I've tried and FF is by far the best for me. I also play via WGT's own full screen mode.

  It'll all depend on an individual's set up (OS etc).

  For the record I'm on an old HPG61 notebook (64bit) running Windows10 (10.0.14393) with a 4GB dual core processor.
