That would be very annoying if the 64bit Firefox would not develop further.
And when https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=880004 it is set to will not fix.

Nothing spreads faster than FUD on a web forum. Honestly I see a lot of half baked theories about why it wont happen with nothing to support them. If there is a tracking bug then you can be reasonably certain things are moving. Maybe at snails pace but then that's not that unusual for Mozilla at the moment they have way too many irons in the fire

Yeah, voting doesn't do anything major anymore. However if you want to follow bugs by email without having to spam CC lists by adding yourself to the CC lists of bugs, you can vote for bugs which enables email notifications for bug activity of bugs you voted into.
In the past, voting was allowed to make unconfirmed bugs confirmed, but Mozilla disabled that for anti-abuse reasons.

Anyone uses the 64-bit Firefox as the default browser?

I do, but not on my "main" computer. I use beta on this one.

Firefox Nightly 22.0a1 (2013-02-24) x64 from http://fbuild.com/. This one is the most stable for me. New one i.e. v25 crashes randomly.

Re: NEW Nightly Firefox Win 64 bit Discussion
Awhile ago in this thread (viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2642165&start=45 - third post), it was mentioned that "ALL Nightly builds are PGO."Jadugar wrote:I get my builds from the same site but its been stable for me other than the problems reported in the nightly threadshammer85 wrote:Firefox Nightly 22.0a1 (2013-02-24) x64 from http://fbuild.com/.

Is this still the case? And whether it is or it isn't, what (in simple terms, please), is the difference between the builds offered on the fbuild.com site and the regular Nightly?
Thanks.

Re: NEW Nightly Firefox Win 64 bit Discussion
One problem for me is the flash player for 64 bit Firefox because of not running in a sandbox, as in the 32 bit version.
I have the Flash Player therefore set to "Ask to activate".

Re: NEW Nightly Firefox Win 64 bit Discussion
joeg,
the fbuild site seems to offer specific optimized builds for intel or amd cpus rather than a generic build for both. it also offers avx optimizations on top of these more specific builds for those with supporting cpus from amd & intel (ie. my i7-3770k ivybridge.). these may crash if the cpu or os does not fully support them. for windows, win7 sp1 or newer (win8) is required.
they also appear to use the mingw compiler which is a minimalist compiler not dependent on third part 'library' .dlls.
whether this makes any practical speed differences, i am not sure. i just tried the intel + avx build for today and it is working fine so far. no crashes yet, but it's early days
heinz,
try sandboxie, and run your browsers in a sandbox. works wunderbar.
