Mozilla plans to release a 64-bit version of Firefox

Good news! Mozilla is working on the implementation of an official version of Firefox for Windows 64-bit , related product manager, Javaun Moradi. In a meeting plan, Moradi found that the company was working on the project for several years, but engineering work still need to be completed, particularly with regard to test coverage, support for plug ins and the establishment of an installer. However, only the latter two are major obstacles for the Mozilla Foundation.

The product manager also pointed out that, although most of the online community is not really aware of the issues of the 64-bit browsers , and the benefits they can offer in terms of stability, performance and security, work deserves to be continued.

"Most people have no idea what it means to the 64-bit" , he has said. "They can already do whatever they want to do online. Many will not notice the 64 bits. Our job is to provide benefits, even though they are invisible, " says Moradi.

Google Chrome and Internet Explorer already offer 64-bit editions of their own browser, providing improved over their performance 32-bit versions. Indeed, besides the fact that it would allow Firefox to upgrade compared to the competition, because 64-bit architectures are gaining ground in terms of market share, and although 32-bit Firefox works without any problem on a 64-bit machine, it unfortunately takes advantage of the benefits offered by a 64-bit system .

Will Harris, a software engineer, emphasized the benefits in an article. "Our measurements showed that the 64-bit native version of Chrome has improved the speed on a lot of our graphics and benchmarks" , has he said.

Firefox users who want to explore the Web browser as a 64-bit application can already do the Nightly channel browser. However, the absence of an official Firefox 64-bit and stable will change in the coming months.

This 64-bit version should arrive at the same time as Firefox 37, whose launch is scheduled for March 31, 2015 By then, it will wait.
