Waterfox

A firefox fork that is focused on x64 functionality. As I am a guy with 40-50 tabs open at any given time, this is something that is important to me.

I don't have Java or Flash installed and use addons to block those security holes. But yea, that is important to bring up.

Thanks for this! I hadn't seen it before but this runs so much smoother.

Do the same extensions that work on Firefox work on Waterfox? I have a lot of tabs open as well all the time. Firefox tends to bog down after a while. But I also use a lot of extensions, so I'd need that.

So fra, the answer to that question is "yes." Waterfox uses the same API ads Firefox, and I have not yet found an addon that does not work. But I only use about 6-8 or so; take that for what you will.

Thanks! My Firefox just froze on a new computer last night, so I might be trying that. I think I might have had too many tabs open on it.

Has anyone shown you the new bookmark feature?

Might have to give this a shot.

At most I'll have 15-20 tabs, but chrome starts to shit the bed well before that.
