Is there a 64 bit version of firefox? If there is please post or send a link.

I am running a 64-bit version of windows seven and I was wondering if there is a 64-bit version of firefox

Any word on when a 64-bit version will be made available for the final release versions of Firefox?
It seems odd to only have access to a 64-bit version via the Nightlies, and not via the final releases, since this means 64-bit users have to constantly use an experimental version of the browser or some custom build like PaleMoon.
Why is a 64-bit version even being worked on for the Nightlies if there are no plans to make it available to the public in the final releases? The 64-bit version seems to be fully functional by the time the final builds are released.

  • 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.

    Thank you.

    There is no released 64 bit version of Firefox. What you obtained is mainly for people testing plug-ins and to be sure that things work when it is available. You would not be able to do much without your plug-ins and they all have to be rewritten. Though Flash is now distributed with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions to Firefox users with 64-bit, so that is one major hurdle.

  • I require a 32 bit version of Firefox to process a single instruction in Share Point. Where can I get the 32 bit version of Firefox at any level?

    I am trying to utilize a function in SharePoint to permit me to open a library in Explorer mode. The function is available on the Share Point page and when I select the function my IE browser stops working. Unfortunately IE at it's current setup on my system is required for most internal applications. Chrome will not enable most of the functions in the Share Point site so that browser is unusable for my purposes. Upon research the current potential resolution to my problem is to run a 32 bit browser to enable my function. Due to the above mentioned limitations I require a 32 bit version of Firefox but the download only provides a 64 bit version because my system is 64 bit. How can I get a 32 bit version of Firefox?

    For what OS as Firefox for Windows from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ www.mozilla.org] is only Win32 and will work on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. Firefox for Mac OSX is a combined 32/64 and There are separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions for Linux.
    Where are you downloading Firefox to think it is a 64-bit version?
    The WOW64 in a browser useragent on Windows means it is a 32-bit application running of 64-bit Windows.

  • Can a 32-bit version of Firefox work with a 64-bit plugin and the other way around?

    I'm using a notebook with Windows 7 x64 and Firefox 4.0.1 x86 and I used to have JDK 1.6.0.24 x64 installed, and also it's corresponding public JRE (also x64). Yesterday, I noticed that Java applets didn't work in Firefox. It asked me to install the required plugin. I did, and JRE 6u22 x86 was installed alongside. Now Java applets did work, hurray.
    Because I didn't want multiple (old) JRE's, I uninstalled all of them and installed JDK 1.6.0.25 with it's public JRE instead. Again, 64-bit. Now Firefox refuses to notice Java again. The plugin menu doesn't show any Java-related plugins. (Not even Java Deployment Toolkit, which used to be there before.) I have tried setting the current Java distribution as default for all browsers with the Java Control Panel, but that didn't work.
    Is this just because Firefox x86 can't deal with x64 plugins? Should I download a x64 build of Firefox instead? Or will that make the rest of my addons stop working?
    EDIT: currently I removed the 64-bit JRE and installed its 32-bit variant. Everything works again, also in Firefox. I would still prefer to have everything 64-bit though.

    Mozilla hasn't yet released a 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows, they're all 32-bit.
    Namoroka is a pre-release version used for testing new features and security fixes, and was available in 32-bit and 64-bit variants for all OS's. Currently only the Nightly version is available in a 64-bit versions for Windows - currently Nightly 10.a1.
    You can get the latest release version here. For Windows it is a 32-bit application. <br />

    Is there a 64 bit version of Firefox? I downloaded what I thought was a 64 bit version, it looks and acts the same as Firefox but is called Nightly. Is this the 64 bit version of Firefox?

  • Looking for 64 bit version of firefox, pre-release or Beta ok

    I have Win7 Pro 64bit. Was having issues with continuous crashing of flash. I installed Adobe Flash Square version10 64bit with Firefox version4, reduced # of flash crashes.
    When firefox pushed out version 5, I installed it & the browser kept dragging/crashing all over again. looked up Adobe Flash Square to see if any info avail, Adobe had Adobe Flash Square version11 64bit, so I uninstalled version 10 prior to installing version11 per Adobe instructions. Although it has helped, it is not where it was prior to installing Firefox 5.
    I have tested Firefox 5 with the current Adobe Flash 32bit release as well, and what can I say, it's not work the effort on my 64bit system. for some reason this combo maxes out my cpu (2.8 dual core) & memory (4 gb + virtual), causing me to hard boot my system.
    I understand Firefox devs are working on a 64bit version for Windows. I would like to volunteer to test it. I have many years of SW design & QA experience so any bugs I find I will fully document.
    The 64bit version of IE works well with the 64bit Flash, lots better than 32bit version, but I prefer to use Firefox or Chrome (I often utilize both simultaneously, each on own screen).
    Please let me know if a 64bit version of Firefox is available (pre-release/beta ok) & if it is not is there an expected availability date?
    Thank you in advance,
    Verta Tannehill

  • I am running windows7 64 need the 32 bit version of firefox to run Adobe?

    Tried downloading latest Adobe flash, won't work, recommends downloading your 32 bit version of Firefox? I am running Windows7 professional 64bit, yahoo mail and i think Facebook have drama's with the 64bit version?can you steer me in right direction on how to sort out?

    There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
    1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

  • Can I please get an email, when you guys finally release a 64-bit version of Firefox?

    Here's what I posted on the Firefox Developer site, after spending enough time there to get a sense of what they're doing, and why they have totally failed to issue a 64-bit version of Firefox.
    So, my question is: where can I register an email address, to make sure I get notified when Firefox issues a 64-bit version?
    I think I'm starting to see why the "developer community" for Firefox has failed to grasp the NEED to issue a 64-bit version. It clearly has become a very cozy and comfortable group of insiders, who can all feel comfortable with the tech-nerd level of the group, and don't want to be bothered by us outsiders who don't belong to developer groups.
    Meanwhile, the fact that Java compatibility, across different 32-versus-64 bit browsers, is causing us outsiders lots of problems, is driving outsiders like me to say, "To hell with those nerds. If they can't find some way to issue a modern version of Firefox, I'm deleting it, and going to Chrome, instead, as my main alternative to IE".
    You guys provided a real nice bridge, over the past few years, which really did help force Microsoft make IE a whole lot better.
    But, you got just too incestuous, and inbred, and you failed to see what was going on outside your little club.
    Please send me an email, if you ever issue a 64-bit Firefox. I like Firefox a lot, and would love to use it again, some day.

    Let me also copy and repeat -- since the developers' club apparently has chosen to not give it any weight or credibility -- a comment by a completely different user, in a different thread:
    "I am using the 64-bit nightly, and it is FAR faster than any release in 32-bit, and I have 2GB of ram. Usually the addon compatibility thing takes minutes, when with the nightly 64-bit, I was done in a matter of seconds. also, I notice that it is faster, pages load faster, there is less lag, and it all around seems better than 32-bit in every aspect, even though it is just automatically compiled and not tweaked."
    So, the developer's club position remains, "there really isn't much need for a 64-bit version", despite comments like that. Hmmm . . .
    Are you SURE you want to stand directly behind that answer, while people shoot at it?

  • I removed the 64 bit version of Firefox and now my bookmarks for the 32 bit version are gone. How do I get them restored?

    Are previous bookmarks for the default stored somewhere on my hard drive?

    See [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]. It's not specifically mentioned in the article since most people don't have multiple versions of Firefox installed (such as a released version and a [http://nightly.mozilla.org Nightly version]) but using the uninstall option '''Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations''' removes ALL of your Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] data and settings (bookmarks, passwords, cookies, etc.) . If you did choose that option when you uninstalled your 64-bit version of Firefox, then I'm afraid the profile data is gone.

  • I need a 32 bit version of firefox för my mac, how?

    Need a 34 bit version of Firefox. My bank requier it for my E-Legitimation. Can I change the Firefox 10.0.2 to a 34 bit? I have mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Do yuo know what do do?

    You can use these steps to start Firefox in 32 bit mode:
    # Close Firefox
    # Start the Finder and open the Applications folder
    # Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
    # Select "Get Info"
    # Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
    # Close the "Firefox Info" window
    # Restart Firefox

  • How do I email a page in firefox? I do not want to send a link, but mail the actual page.

    I want to email a page in firefox. I do not want to send a link or copy it to a word or other document and then mail it. Is there a way to do this as in other browsers?
    Thank you.

    Standard email doesn't have much formatting. In fact many people object to receiving heavily formatted email or messages that looks like a webpage. Yes, if you want to send something that looks like a newsletter or a word processing document with graphics etc, creating a PDF file and then emailing that is the preferred method - at least to me.

  • Is there a 64 bit version of Firefox?

    Info shows that a 64 bit version was suppose to be there with v5 but I cant find any confirmation of it actually being there.

    It's in testing but you can download the test copy here: [http://nightly.mozilla.org/ http://nightly.mozilla.org/]
