That's one of the reasons why I use Firefox for my browser. It updates automatically, as needed, and doesn't hound me to death about it. It's updates have never caused a problem. |

The constant changes on Facebook, for instance, drive me nuts! But I suppose I'll have to update at some point. Thanks for the links. |
