Waterfox is good, basically 64bit FF. It's very fast...what I'm using.

I'm using Waterfox, but it'd be nice to see Mozilla actually stick to what they previously said.... They promised a 64bit release and have since failed to deliver even though they've been testing one for more than 6 months.

I think the Nightly builds come in 64bit flavour...

I've had none of the issues with Waterfox that I had with Firefox. I disable browser cache....and it actually remembers I disabled it!!!!

Would just be nice if Mozilla would release a 64bit version themselves since they announced publicly that they would.

Funny thing is, Waterfox uses the same exact user profile as your Firefox's, so I still don't get why Firefox couldn't remember settings while it's using the same prefs.js as Waterfox. =b

Rendering speed is definitely improved.

Until Mozilla finally releases a 64bit version as they promised....won't get a chance to find out.

It seems I can't find it on the Mozilla website or FTP.

I tried waterfox once, but I never saw a speed difference or anything so just switch back to normal FF, Tho i have been waiting for 64bit version from mozilla like the promised I guess it still a no go?

It's always posted on the Mozilla FTP prior to the official release.

Actually I have tested it.
Using Waterfox, Aurora (32-bit), Beta (32-bit), and official Firefox releases (32-bit).
They all have the same about:config customization I've done in Waterfox every time I use the one other than Waterfox.
Irrespective of a 32 or 64-bit application, they still use the same, last active user profile.

I tried Waterfox 64 bit, didn't work with the BF3 browser - gave up on it. Only reason I'm using Firefox in the first place is because it has the best comparability with every website I visited (+ the Adblock Plus for it is the best)

So anyway, what's new in Firefox 12? too lazy to look it up myself as it's probably 3 or 4 irrelevant bug fixes, seems to be the trend lately.. a whole new version for small changes
