Waterfox

Has anyone tried the 64 bit variant of Firefox yet? I'm liking it. Faster. Pulled in all my Firefox settings seamlessly, including plugins.

Well, if you have a 32 bit system and you try to load a 64 bit application, you get a bunch of bits littering the floor as they fall out. Kinda tough to walk on.

If you right click on the computer icon ( in your start menu or on your desktop) and go to the properties selection. It will list your operating system. If it is 64 bit it will say so.

Tried Chrome was underimpressed. Besides Waterfox is much faster.
