I'm using Firefox on this laptop (running Win7) with no issues of the sort you've described.
I switched to Opera (Chrome) at home because I'm still running Win2K there and FireFox is glacially slow on Win2K now. Using web forums wasn't an issue. (I have a half-terabyte of installed data for Daz Studio - that isn't something I can migrate in just one month.)
