hello, firefox isn't conflicting with adobe, but the adobe pdf & flash plugins are also running within firefox - therefore the browser will have to be closed during the update/installation of those plugins.

I have a similar problem. I'm on Win XP with Mozilla Firefox v18. Recently installed Adobe Air 3.6, and now the websites are slow in connecting on firefox - facebook, google etc. Does anyone have helpful info ?
