Waterfox 64-bit Firefox
Waterfox is a 64-bit version of Firefox. Some people might be interested in it.
http://waterfoxproj.sourceforge.net/ It is optimized for use on 64-bit Windows, and so will perform faster than 32-bit Firefox. FAQ here : http://waterfoxproj.sourceforge.net/faq |

I've been using Waterfox for a while. It's as fast as it claims but has no support for many media plugins.
I have divx web player installed and Pale Moon could use that fine, but after installing Waterfox, it's plugin directory was empty. That incompatibility is what stands out as Waterfox's main downside. Anyone here have the WMP plugin for Firefox? I don't have it installed and I want to know if Waterfox can detect that. |

Are you talking about 64-bit versions of Waterfox, Firefox and Pale Moon? I've got DivX plug-in running on 64-bit Waterfox. It seems to run the same as on 64-bit Pale Moon, at least, I haven't noticed any difference. Is there any that you've noticed? Are you saying that when Waterfox installed it didn't use the DivX plug-in while Pale Moon did? When I installed 64-bit Waterfox I thought it picked up the 64-bit Firefox nightly plug-ins. I don't know if it tries to use the 64-bit Pale Moon plug-ins. I got WMP for Firefox from Microsoft's Interoperability Bridges and Labs Center |

What Linuxis is trying to say is that he already has DivX Web Player installed, and Waterfox should have picked up its plugin, but it didn't, whereas Pale Moon picked the plugin up.
This may be a problem with Waterfox. Its addressed in the FAQ, for the question "Is my experience limited if I use a 64-Bit version of Firefox?" ... to which the answer is : "Unless you use other plugins than Flash, Java and Silverlight your experience will not be limited." Maybe this will be addressed in the future, as Waterfox keeps developing. There are other questions in FAQ, which might be of interest. |

http://www.xxxxxxxxxxx/blog/archives...ared-to-32bit/ for Firefox 8.0 32-bit, Waterfox 8.0 64-bit, Firefox Nightly 11.0a1 32-bit and 64-bit, and Pale Moon 8.0 32-bit and 64-bit http://www.neowin.net/news/waterfox-80 for the same except Firefox Nightly 11.0a1 64-bit I would happily use any of them but would probably go with Nightly:
P.S. The first URL was changed from the text I originally copied in. So I guess that is some security feature that xxxx's out the name. The missing text was raymond[dot]cc. It was OK when I checked with virustotal.com. |
