As the only actual users who have it at the present are those with Win 8.1 I would be interested in comments

Did a roll-back and everything is fine back with 9 but I use Waterfox anyway.
Skype won't work for me with anything higher than 9.

If I was still using Win 7, I would definitely try IE 11. I don't like the auto upgrade bit though, I have my update settings to let me choose whether to download and install, so I can uncheck anything I don't want and hide it so it never shows again, unless I choose to restore hidden updates. So unless people have install updates automatically, I can't see how they can force it on you.

Interestingly Skype, which auto-starts with windows works ok but if I shut down and restart Skype it fails to work properly.
I guess my ultimate solution is a Windows trash and reinstall, something I hate but it cleans out the accumulated crud.

After a reboot FF 25.0.1 failed to start except in Safe Mode. If I turned off hardware acceleration then it started without issue.
FF is now updating so the latest version may have resolved this issue.
Edit: FF26 and Hardware acceleration back on and all seems ok now.
