Released Version 1.0.5
  • Replaced the method of getting the window handle, now any DOM node and be used. Thanks to Canyonero for the method used to do this.
  • Now the Visual C Runtime is not longer required.
  • Added 1px extra padding to the bottom of the #nav-bar

wonderful! i'm using it right now

I'm using the latest build from here:

http://www.mozilla-x86-64.com/download.html

Since I am on Vista 64 bit, what will I benefit from using Firefox 64 bit? Less memory usage, better\faster performance?

Also, it looks like when using the explorer toolbar code in userchrome, the text is not using clear-type. Any way to fix that?

No, x64 applications will actually use about more memory than their x86 counterparts (but this is also mostly true for x86 running on an x64 OS so no real change there.)

You will not see any kind of performance increase either. At least not more than you would see with other unofficial PGO optimized builds made to benefit from SSE-extensions of current x86 CPUs. And Firefox 3 will make these mostly superfluous as well.

So there is basically no benefit from running an x64 build of Firefox. But there are significant drawbacks like the lack of just about any 64-bit version of all common plugins like Flash or even Java.

So no benefits, but lots of hassle ... so if you are a masochist, by all means, go for it. ;)

This is a little different for 64bit versions of Linux but you didn't ask that.

6XGate, you are my hero! This is simply amazing! I have been waiting for this for so long, I am so glad you did it... Have been running for one day with no problems whatsoever, using this with Carl Booth's black theme, along the Safari-like loading bar ("Fission" extension but with a Vista theme) . I am NOT touching Internet Explorer EVER AGAIN!

Looks very nice.

It's using Clear-Type, it's just not shadowing it which Firefox doesn't support any CSS for yet.

    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.

    • Ah. La Fontana De Incontinentia ! Bella ! Bella !
    • Hi everyone, I'm planning a small network upgrade and was wondering how others prepare their networks for future needs. Do you usually invest in higher-speed switches and better cabling from the start, or do you upgrade only when necessary? I'd be interested in hearing what has worked well for you and any lessons you've learned over time. Thanks!
