Waterfox has now been accepted as a Mozilla project

(1/19) > >>

4wd:
Waterfox is a x64 build of Firefox, I've been using it for a while after Pale Moon x64 was giving me some strange problems.  Pale Moon directory structure was also different to Firefox's, this was good for those times when programs expected to just dump things onto Firefox, (toolbars, bookmarks, etc), because they couldn't find the directories, (thus assumed no browser), but not so good when you were trying to get some plugin to work.

So far I haven't found any problems with using Waterfox over Firefox.

Powered by Mozilla & Waterfox 9.0.1

Waterfox has now been accepted as a project by Mozilla and has been placed on their website! Waterfox 9.0.1 has also been released, but at the moment is only available through the internal updating program available in Waterfox 9.0. This is to try and iron out any issues for the release of Waterfox.

VaporFox will be the 128bit version....sorry couldn't resist.

I have used it briefly, as with Pale Moon, it seems better than the original.

80's...the memories  :D

Edvard:
... and if you're running Linux, get Swiftfox:
http://getswiftfox.com/


... or the Nightly build, if you like tempting fate, living on the edge or eating Fuguw:
http://nightly.mozilla.org


... or Swiftweasel if you're running Debian and actually care about all the trademark brouhaha:
http://swiftweasel.tuxfamily.org


Don't know how any of these stack up to Waterfox, especially because it's optimized for Windows, but the Swiftfox and Swiftweasel builds are optimized for different CPUs.
