Why, why must it crash every single time I open a PDF?

It doesn't crash, it just takes a couple minutes to load and won't let you do anything else in FF while it is loading. It doesn't stop you from using other programs while it's loading the PDF software.

Why does it take so doggone long to launch?

While she has some of it right and some of it wrong. She's right. Firefox takes longer to launch than IE.

Of course she forgets to note that IE is launching EVERY boot. EVERY SINGLE TIME her computer boots, IE is launched. Clicking the big E simply is opening the web interface. It's already loaded and running.

I'm neutral on all of this stuff as I work with just about every OS, every day for a living. I will say however that of the home users I deal with, and run windows and I've compelled to Firefox don't get spyware any longer. Mostly because ActiveX doesn't work with Firefox.

IE 7 is even 50 percent more secure than current versions

I have a client who had 30,000 entries in the registry from malware. Cutting it in half would yield 15,000. A great improvement.

Because you didn't install it correctly. I have never had this problem.

Really, most writers endeavor to conceal rather than advertise their ineptitude in their field of alleged expertise.
