Nightly Firefox Win 64 bit Discussion

I thought the auto-update was not working...

Worked fine for me off the hourly build.

The 64 Bit Build seems to be just as fast as the 32 Bit. I am impressed with it.

It's nice but it's using more RAM then version 5 is...

That's normal. A 64-bit app always need more RAM than its 32-bit counterparts: internal pointers are twice the size... Now the real effect depends if the app makes an extensive use of pointers or not.

At least it's not as bad as IE8 was... that program's RAM/Commit charge usage was crazy

when you watch any video on youtube, right click on the video and click video info, you will see the box said it's "software video rendering, hardware video decoding" or "software video rendering, software video decoding". when i was using Vista x64 and Nightly x64 it works. but when i upgrade to Win7 x64 and Nightly x64, it always shows "software video rendering, null video decoding." have anyone seen this before? is this normal on Win7 x64? x86 browsers are fine.

Confirmed, supergirl. IE9 64 bit gives the same video info as Fx 64 bit, therefore, it must be a Flash "Square" player issue, as you mentioned.

[remixedcat]

ok this is on 32 bit FF5:


so yes it's the "square" issue.

I like your choice of videos, remixedcat.
