Posting here is "doing research" :) I'll probably get flamed for it, but
since I've been using FF (about 3 years) I haven't downloaded one
MS update...right or wrong, that's part of my regimen for "minimizing
issues"


I've seen this discussion going on for weeks, in all that time you could
have installed, determined if it was going to work, and wiped and
rebuilt your machine several dozen times.

Backup your files, disable your AV, install SP3, reboot, make sure AV is
enabled - then go back and do all of the updates, not just the Windows
updates, all of the MICROSOFT updates.

Let us know how it turns out.
