What does it break?

FF13 and Adobe Flash would not play together. Mozilla pointed fingers at Adobe. Adobe pointed fingers at Mozilla.

FF14 and Adobe Flash sort of work together, but Flash is choppy.

When will Mozilla’s Rapid Release insanity end????? Numerous add-ons are no longer updated or lag behind the rapid release stupidity.

Every time I get do a reboot, I get a Flash message of a new version. Then FF comes out with its new release.

I click cancel, because I don’t want to take the chance to see which breaks the other.

I haven't installed it yet. It's in my distro repository scheduled for update, but it hasn't been released yet.

That's fine with me.

I don't use a lot of extensions--AdBlock, NoScript, DoNotTrack, and RIP are the main ones. They seem to just work with each new update, though.

I've stayed updated right through v15, and can't remember the last time I had a problem.
Just because they release a new version, doesn't mean you have to install it.
I have a few SW programs that I won't update because they're not "broken" and do exactly what I want.

I had been using Firefox cross-platform for consistency of experience, plug-ins, etc. On the Mac and Win7 machines, I ditched it for Safari because it’s gotten so unstable and breaks add-ons at whim now. I still have it on my Linux box, as I haven’t found a better option yet.

The past several weeks, Adobe Flash has been constantly crashing when running with FF14, so much so that I've been using FF about half as much as in the past and making much more use of Opera, IE and Chrome.

Got an update for both FF (FF 15) and Adobe this morning. Hopefully the problem is solved, but I wouldn't put any money on it.
