Is Waterfox a good 64bit Firefox browser?
I installed Waterfox because I am running a 64bit computer. Just wondering if that is such a good idea or not? It has hung on me a couple of times and don't know why. I have used with great satisfaction Firefox for years, but it isn't 64bit, and thought Waterfox would be faster, but doesn't seem to be much different if at all.

There is no real difference to running 64bit for users. I would never suggest waterfox as it makes lots of changes to Firefox that aren't properly tested. If you want x64 Firefox, wait a few weeks, and download it from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/.

I think there are some operations that really benefit from a 64-bit application. For example, large models in Excel that involve a lot of computations. I'm not sure what kinds of browsing benefit from 64-bit computing.
Anyway, we aren't knowledgeable here about Waterfox-specific issues. They do support on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/waterfox
The third-party options of Win64 builds of Firefox releases will be less of a option soon.
Firefox 41.0 may be the first Release to have Win64 (64-bit) alongside the 32-bit builds for Windows.
