Its awesome.

It doesn't need to be installed, it runs from the folder as a stand alone program.

And has all the functions of the x86 version.

Addons are few right now but DAMN!

Its fast!

Too bad there is still no Flash Player for x64.
Until we get a 64 bit flash player, 64 bit browsers will not be fully functional.

Re: Firefox X64!!

Bad luck that you can't use Flash with it until Adobe get their act together.

Otherwise it's terrific and fast.

Re: Firefox X64!!

Ummm, you can get a 64 bit JRE and a 64 bit SDK....and I'll test again but on my first install I had both a 32bit JAVA and a 64bit JAVA side by side (or should I have said SXS?).

now, whether Fx 64bit can use it or not, that is a different story.

VectorLinux has been making x64 builds for a long time - but I never can find them making builds consistently. I wish that my favorite community edition builder, tete009 (you can search that nic in Google to find his page) would make 64bit builds - his 32 bit builds are amongst the fastest ones out there....

Re: Firefox X64!!

Yes there is - but you have to look for it.

Start at Java SE Downloads and click on, say, the download button beside Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 6

That takes you to Select Platform and Language for your download:

The choices there are Platform, which has the following selections:

  • Linux
  • Linux x64
  • Solaris SPARC
  • Solaris x64
  • Solaris x86
  • Windows
  • Windows x64

Re: Firefox X64!!

I figured it would not be able to - 64bit browsers are kinda left out in the cold for now - virtually no support from any sort of plugins / add-ons. Kinda sucks, too, because 64bit Fx screams, and I even like the 64 bit IE 7....when I visit non Web2.0 sites that is...
