Firefox X64!!

Its here.

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!

Check it out here.

64bit - x64 - Firefox x64, version requiring no installation

Windows Builds

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...
