    Angry Windows 8 has taken a dislike to Firefox

    Been happily working away doing some listing research on Firefox when suddenly a Windows message box popped saying that Windows had blocked Firefox as a suspicious app !

    Is it worthwhile trying to do a system restore to get back to where I was about 45 mins. ago?

    Using Chrome - which I don't care for - to post this.

    p.s Firefox has been a bit 'jumpy' since last update.

    I'm using W-7 . This has happened to me today for the 1st time.
    I just clicked on the accept dialog box and it went on to load..

    The trouble started when Firefox updated to the latest version v.36 - I gather it's caused problems worldwide. [Forgotten it was on automatic update]

    I re-installed Firefox v.351, but lost all my bookmarks in the process but I'd the foresight to transfer them to Chrome beforehand which I'm now using until I get things sorted out.

    Anyone know how to transfer bookmarks from Chrome to Firefox?

    Thank you Graham ! Just imported my bookmarks back to Firefox. They need a bit of tidying up and then I'll be back where I was this time yesterday - and no more automatic updates for a while
