Is there a 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows 7 64-bit?

I'm just a bit confused. I have Version 8.x of Firefox, which seems to be a 32-bit version. The help site seemed to say that there is a 64-bit version of Firefox, but when I went to download it, I got something called Nightly, which has now replaced my Firefox. Is nightly a fully-functioning version of Firefox? Is there any advantage to using it as my browser? Is there any reason I shouldn't use it? I would call myself an advanced intermediate user in terms of computer literacy.
Another related question: When I search something on the help site, I often see references to Version 3.x or Version 4.x. Is my 8.x on the same numbering system as these versions? Is it the most up-to-date version?
Thanks for your help.

Nightly is a pre-release testing version of Firefox: bleeding edge and not necessarily stable. It is Firefox -- a rose by any other name, and all -- but it is buggy, as all testing software is (I'm using it right now). New Firefox versions are born from Nightly, so when a 64-bit version of Firefox is released, it will have come from Nightly development. Use it for general browsing and send feedback (Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General) and you will be helping to beta test a new baby Firefox.

Is there a nightly 64-bit version of firefox for windows?

I know that you cannot compile a official stable version of 64 bit Windows because you mistakenly think it's enough with the unefficient 32bit version. But what I want to ask you is if there is a nightly version of 64 bit for windows, and if it exists, where can I get it, Zipped or installer (please, I would like binaries; I don't want to fight for hours with many configuration files, compiling process and so on).
PD: Please release a 64 bit version of firefox on Windows. What more do you want to postpone it?
I saw a st*pid answer like «Yep :) Firefox works fine on both 32bit and 64 bit, so no need to worry :) », but this is NOT a solution. I have a 64bit OS, then, I would like to use full advantages and performance of this more modern platform rather than a less capable version. I dont have many GB of RAM and a multicore CPU as a decoration.

Win64 Nightly has existed for some time however they are not supported (like the Win32, Mac OSX 32/64-bit and Linux 32/64-bit are) as they are currently more for to catch breakage/regressions. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Supported_build_configurations
No it is not simply because the 32-bit version works.
The 64-bit Windows builds has still been a work in progress on a number of things that needs to be in order, especially for Win64 Releases to happen.

64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows

I'm running 64-bit version of Windows 7 via bootcamp. I'm running 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010. I have the latest version of Quicktime installed 7.7.3 something. I can play the file on the desktop no problem, but when I try to insert the file into Powerpoint or play a file that I inserted previously into Powerpoint on a different system, it says either Quicktime unavailable or you need a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert the file.
So, exactly where is a 64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows because apparently the one on the Apple website for Windows is not 64-bit. Everyone keeps saying download the 64-bit version of Quicktime. Great, tell me where it is. There is no option for 64-bit on the website. It doesn't even say it is 64-bit. It just says its compatible with Windows 7. Powerpoint 2010 64-bit MUST have a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert or play any Quicktime file. The OS doesn't give a rats @ss one way or the other.
The file I previously inserted was playing on a system that apparently had a 32-bit version of Powerpoint installed. That machine defaults to VLC player on the desktop. It has no issues with the file. It's the Quicktime Player mismatch on my machine that is giving me grief. If I knew Office was going to be a PITA if I installed the 64-bit version I would have stuck with the 32-bit version.
Ideas? Where is the 64-bit version? How do you tell it is 64-bit? How do you force the installer to make sure it ONLY installs a 64-bit version of it?

If Microsoft merely off their own decided that only a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be supported by them and did not both checking such a beast existed then this is perfectly believable behavior on the part of Microsoft and they should roast in **** for it.
If Apple led Microsoft to believe that a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be released like a 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows has been released but then backed out then this is equally believeable behaviour on the part of Apple and then equally the guilty parties at Apple should roast in ****.
It should be noted that the 64-bit version of iTunes is able to play videos via the 32-bit version of QuickTime. This suggests Microsoft programmers are weak with the force. This would tend to support my theory that Microsoft despite being the biggest software company in the world are better at making hardware than software.
Moving on to trying to be more constructive…
Clearly as things stand using the existing and only official version of QuickTime for Windows which is 32-bit only is not going to work in 64-bit Office. It might therefore be worth looking at trying the following.
Uninstall completely Apple's 32-bit QuickTime for Windows (if installed currently)
Install QuickTime Alternative - see http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm
I have no idea if QuickTime Alternative is 64-bit, I have no idea if it will work in 64-bit Office even if it is 64-bit. However it does work in Internet Explorer for Windows, it is free and therefore will cost you nothing to try. If it does not work you can then always uninstall it.
As another even more abtruse solution, you could try loading your PowerPoint file in to the free iWorks i.e. KeyNote via a free iCloud account. It will allow importing PowerPoint files and will even work in Internet Explorer.

Where can I down load older versions of FireFox for windows and Mac for testing my application? I need to have copies of version 3, 4 and 5.

My tesm develops .net applications that must support many browsers and we need access to download older versions of FireFox for windows and mac computers, so that we can test our application prior to rolling out a new version.
Where can I download older versions of FireFox

Firefox 3.5 is an antique version that is chock-full of security vulnerabilities.<br>
Firefox 3.6 also contains security vulnerabilities; it stopped being supported on April 24.
* [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/ www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/]
If you can't run the latest version because your system doesn't meet the requirements, it's highly recommended that you use another browser that is secure. TenFourFox is a third-party build of Firefox that is kept up-to-date and runs on Mac OS X 10.4 and PowerPC Macs (as a side note, I've never seen the site go down; whatever problems James noticed 9 months ago must've been a fluke).
* [http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/]
If your system can run the latest version, but you want to downgrade because you've experienced problems, please start a new thread and someone will try to help you.
If you understand the security risks but want to downgrade anyway,
* Firefox 3.6: [http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html]

Any hope of getting 64 bit twain plug in for Windows 64 bit Photoshop

Just what the title sez: any hope of getting 64 bit twain plug in for Windows 64 bit Photoshop? Frustrating to upgrade and have to do a work around to use your scanner. Will Adobe release this?

Chris,
I have a CanoScan 8800F plus CS5, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions installed. When I scan four slides in a holder, the 32-bit TWAIN driver/plugin gives me four images of one slide each. The 64-bit WIA driver/plugin gives me one image of the slide holder, with the four slides in it. Is this a limitation of the WIA technique in general or the particular WIA driver for my CanoScan?
Best regards,
Antero

When will Apple develop a 64 bit version of Safari for Windows?

I've been using this browser for a while now and absolutely love it!
Features that stand out from the crowd are:
Apples unique font smoothing technology.
Best colour management available on any browser.
Speed.
Excellent web standards coverage.
Most of the competitors are now developing 64 bit versions in preparation for the release of 64 bit Flash and Silverlight. Apple cites improvements for it's Mac OS version 64bit vs the 32 bit. If development isn't in the works then it should be for Windows!

Sept 2011--should I obtain 64-bit version of Firefox for new Win7 64-bit laptop?

Before I download various addons or plugins, I should know which version of Firefox I intent to be running--32- or 64-bit. I assume the version I just downloaded (6.0.2) is 32-bit. Do I need to uninstall current version?

Firefox 64 bit is not currently supported. Firefox 32 bit will work just fine :). Note that Mozilla does have plans to support a 64 bit Firefox in the near future!

Can you email a link to me, where I can download the 64-bit version of firefox for my windows 7 64 bit laptop?

hello
I have windows 7 home premium 64-bit operating system.
i would like to download and install firefox 64-bit version.
can you email me a link where I can download the 64 bit firefox?

Link to 64 bit of Nightly http://nightly.mozilla.org/
edit: Fixed linked it was linking to the tinderbox hourly builds (multiple builds a day) which can be much more unstable if the build did not build properly (due to checkins and trying stuff) and yet may still be green and uploaded. Use the /firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ not tinderbox if you must.
Also note the unstable Nightly builds get updates each day (sometimes a respin even) and are not meant for regular Firefox users in mind but devs and testers who at very least understand the basics of separate installs and separate Profiles for each.

Installingthe 64 bit version of itunes for windows

Im having issues connecting my phone to my itunes, I installed the 64 bit verson as requested and it is saying that i am unable to connect my device as it is not the 64 bit version that is installed. Anyone out there got any ideas ????

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

I can't download any version of firefox for windows 7.

I'm having serious trouble downloading the file for windows. I've tried on a PC with windows 7 using both safari and IE 8. I've also tried with a mac using osx snow leopard with both safari and firefox. The file can't be found. All the other version seem to be there just fine. What's going on?

Great questions. It takes me to a screen that tells me the server can't find the file. Here is the exact message:
"Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “http://mirror.leaseweb.com/software/mozilla/firefox/releases/5.0.1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%205.0.1.exe” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again."
I've tried coming from various websites, using various computers and browsers. It still gives me this message or one similar.
Thanks for responding!

How do I download the 64-Bit version of iTunes for Windows 7?

I just got a new computer with Windows 7 O.S. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes to the computer, but when I try to install it, I am getting a message telling me I need the 64-Bit version, but I have downloaded the 32-Bit version.
I have tried to find the 64-bit version but am having no luck finding it. Can someone please point me in the right direction with a link to the 64-Bit version. Thank you very much.
Joie

Head to the downloads page, Joie:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Down at the bottom left (scroll down if necessary?), you should see:
64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
... click the *64-bit installer* text to go to a downloads page for the latest version of the 64-bit installer.

Every time I connect my iPod/iPhone to itunes it say it will not connect because I need the 64 bit version of iTunes for Windows. But I do...

I have reinstalled iTunes over 20 times at this point. I've also tried standalone installers for the mobile support. NONE of it is working. This computer is brand new and should have no issues with functionality towards iTunes. This makes absolutely no sense. Please help. I do have the 64 bit version for Windows currently installed.

Same problem.

After downloading and installing the 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows I get a "Congratulations, you've successfully installed iTunes" message. However, when I plug in my iPhone to synch it I get a message that says that I don't the 64-bit version??

After downloading the 64-bit version of iTunes on my Windows 7 machine I get the "Congratulations, you've successfully installed iTunes" message. However, when I plug in my iPhone I get an error message that says, in part, "...the required software is not installed. Run the installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes". I've been at this for hours, carefully deleting all Apple software (Apple Mobile Support, Quicktime, etc. and before each attempt to install the 64-bit version from Apple ( no third parties). Same result each time!!! Any ideas????

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:

(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

Why does Apple refuse to make a 64 bit version of quicktime for Windows?

For those of us in digital media creation Quicktime is a highly used App, how ever access to 4+ gigs of ram is more important. I'm making the switch to a 64-bit OS in the next week or so, and it's really frustrating to see that Apple, after how many years since XP64 first hit, STILL does not have a 64-Bit version of Quicktime. What is the hold up?
I also don't understand how they can release something where one of the main features is busted for multiple versions. I had to stick with an older version of QT for quite awhile before the load image sequence was fixed. Why are their Windows customers treated as second class citizens?

Newest version of Firefox for Windows will not install.

After the auto update of Firefox failed to work, I downloaded the full installation file for the most recent version of Firefox (28.0). The setup file extracts but doesn't install. I also cannot find the extracted file(s) on my computer. I have tried uninstalling older versions, running antivirus, anti-rootkit and malware programs and also disabling those programs before trying to install. Any other suggestions I can try?
