I used BlueStacks for the same purpose about two months ago but my experience was hell.
BlueStacks (or Maybe just the version I had) takes a lot of the computer's processing power and is very slow to open.
Also, it crashes a lot of times and would return me to the home page on every occasion.
Like I said, it was my experience and maybe these factors have been taken care of in recent versions.

I don't notice it it too much, Firefox for example is much worse. Good thing you've mentioned it, I think Firefox is having a memory leak again :P
I think it's all good with your version. I just checked my setup and it is version 2.8. Oh! That is bizarre from Firefox!
