NEW Nightly Firefox Win 64 bit Discussion

[kronckew]

x64 nightly 26.01a build 20130905030206 is not crashing on me, using it to post here now.

[joeg]

Last hourly-builds crashes at start here. Has the problem still someone?

Bei mir funktioniert's einwandfrei. = WFM. But I'm using the "official" Nightly on a machine where the graphics card is unblocked.

Maybe due to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=885169 which was backed out, grab today's Nightly or a later hourly build.

I don't use 64bit builds myself.

[HeinzDo]

Yes, works again.
Thx

In case anybody is interested in following along, work is being done to get tests passing on Windows x64 builds on the Date project branch with the eventual goal of getting them running by default everywhere.

Can people and Nightly users help in some way???

[speciesx]

lol, only 3 of 14 tests are green.

Probably not, unless you can figure out what needs fixing in the failing tests

lol, only 3 of 14 tests are green.

It's actually not as bad as it looks IMO. Most of the failures are a crash [@ nsStandardURL::Release()], so fixing that should green up a lot of them. Other than that, one looks like a configuration issue on the test slaves and the others look like minor fixups.

Just wondering are the latest hourlies just not starting up and instantly crashing?

The one I'm currently using is:

Not too sure but that's the latest one that works fine for me.

[HeinzDo]

Works for me

I too was wondering about a 64 bit build for firefox. I did see that there was another site that had 26.01a posted, but, i was not sure if I wanted to use it because it is an alpha build. I just hope that one does come out soon enough. I have used a few 64 bit browsers before and find them to fast and great to use. However, there are not that many out there and updates are far and few between. Lets hope that the we can get more active and more support for 64 bit browers.

The a1 refers to the Nightly channel developmental builds (a2 is Aurora) that gets checkins almost every day so therefore it gets a update each of those days. The Win64 Nightly builds are not officially supported at moment (more for regressions/breakage purposes) so they can be more unstable than the officially supported Win32 Nightly builds. As you see with the Firefox 23.0 you have you do not need 64-bit builds to run Firefox on 64-bit Windows.

What Mozilla plans at all with the 64-bit Firefox?
Can not be that Mozilla takes so long for transposition.
Some users were therefore last year already very annoyed by Mozilla.

[ferongr]

Why are you so angry? The 32bit builds work just fine for 99% of usercases.

[HeinzDo]

That may be, but I want as much as possible to use only 64bit software.
And since it is very annoying that Mozilla now no 64-bit Firefox offers.
