Waterfox

Have been trying out this full 64 bit variant of friefox now for a few days and it does seem somewhat quicker. Check the home page/download page for needed files and plug-ins. Like it says you need to install the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) for the program to work and then the 64 bit plug-ins for sites that require them.

Other than the needed 64 bit plug-ins everything else was picked up during install, all bookmarks with favicons all other extensions and all settings. I'm thinking both firefox and waterfox share the same user settings. I also notice if waterfox is running and you click the firefox icon just another instance of waterfox opens. Same if firefox is running and you click on waterfox, just get another firefox. Don't seem to be able to open both at the same time.

Next up: airfox and earthfox.
