03 Jan, 2009 3:05 pm 64-Bit Versions of Firefox [sdp=94896]  

Hello All-

As some of you know, I recently got a new laptop.
It has Windows Vista Home Premium, 64-Bit Edition.

Now, I know that you can run 32-bit applications pretty well, however, I also know that there are 64-bit editions of Firefox.

I am told that Shiretoko is 64-bit, but I am not totally sure.


So, question being, where can I get 64-bit versions of Firefox?

I get my builds from mozilla-x86-64.com. There used to be another collection of builds maintained at vector64.com, but this hasn't been updated since July.

The official builds of Firefox 3.1 (code-named "Shiretoko") are not yet 64-bit. The ones from mozilla-x86-64.com are.
