So yea I just downloaded FireFox 3 32-Bit final and was messing around with it then had a thought... Where is the 64-Bit version...

http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Download

It is currently in final stages of release along with its more popular old brother.(32-Bit)  I can tell big difference in speed between this version and the 32-Bit one.  Give it a shot guys won't hurt anything.

Edit: Flash and Java will NOT work with 64-Bit browsers on the Windows platform.  This is because Sun and Adobe refuse to make 64-Bit versions of their software.  However if you have Linux there are work around to this issue.

Awesome, it does seem a little quick. Plus it's always nice to have native x64 programs on your x64 OS. Now I'm waiting for Opera to do the same.

Wow I really notice a speed difference over the 32-bit version.  Nice find.

Are there really no opensource workarounds for windows?

Yes, you are correct.

Probably before the end of the year.  Once its release I will make the switch to 64-Bit browser permanent.
