A better Firefox Browser

[OldSchoolDSL]

So I've heard a lot about how people use to love Firefox, but can agree the latest copies of Firefox are slower and use more resources. Firefox also does not yet have a 64bit version.

To this I say, Water Fox (Waterfox).

http://waterfoxproj.sourceforge.net/

Faster, uses less resources, 64bit support, and works with all your normal Firefox add-ons.

Yep. Good stuff

Presumably this wont work unless you have a 64bit windows install ?

By default Waterfox uses the same path profiles as Firefox.

This is for compatibility, so that you may use any Firefox compatible plug-in, add-on, or extension.

There is nothing to sort. This is the default.

all of Mozilla apps use the same paths, for compatibility and interaction... looks like Unix ways to do so... the future is near *(a rare 1974 phrase!)

Off topic:

I actually wish Unix / Linux all used the same paths for everything. I can install program X on one distro and on another distro it will be different.

I prefer Chrome and Firefox (in that order) ... No need for another browser in my life

Waterfox is Firefox, just the way it should be
