[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1900266, member: 71075"] Herein lies the problem - you're using what is called an "Extended Support Release" version of Firefox (see more [URL='https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-esr-release-cycle']here[/URL]). These are releases designed for those who don't want to deal with the quick six week release cycle of regular releases (think corporate environments). These don't update to new versions that aren't ESR ones so you get very long gaps where you aren't running the non-ESR releases (ie. the "regular" ones). That said, you are right in noting that macOS 10.11 is only supported by the ESR release (see [URL='https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-mac-osx-users-esr']here[/URL]). Chrome, on the other hand, supports 10.11 (for now). I say all this because it seems like the only reason you're upgrading is because FF doesn't support Amazon Prime video and a solution here doesn't have to involve such a big upgrade. However, if you're all primed (excuse the pun) to go with a full system upgrade, that's probably going to benefit you long term anyway. [/QUOTE]
