I just installed the 64 bit Firefox. It installed smoothly and rapidly. So far, exactly the same cosmetics as the 32bit with Classic Theme extension. Did an update for extensions and it found none.

On the absolute plus side.........it is lighting fast on SI. It seems to handle the ads much better for some reason. I'll monitor this as time goes by.

64-bit Mozilla builds ...



More important text here: kb.mozillazine.org

I run 32-bit Firefox, T-Bird and SeaMonkey (both with QuickFolders free) on 3 systems. I use 32-bit MozBackup to backup all 3 on 3 systems. Ninite run manually 2 or 3 times a week keeps Firefox and T-Bird as well as ~20 other applications I use at the latest version level but the Adobe Shockwave Flash plug-in for Firefox has to be updated separately after Adobe notifies me that a new version is available.



Ninite will not update 64-bit Firefox or T-Bird at all, only 32-bit(unless that's recently changed) and does not update any paid software (e.g Revo uninstaller Pro, Glary Utilities, Malwarebytes Premium, etc).
