I think I'm going to give the x64 version a try - thanks for telling about it :)

The x64 nightly builds were pretty good for a time.  That's why I am surprised at the problems.

Edit:  Since I mentioned it my curiosity kicked in.  I just installed and ran the x64 nightly now.  So far it seems fine.  I was able to set it as default browser.  Nothing flaky yet.  :)

Edit2:  Well, nothing flaky other than when you load multiple tabs at once it is slow loading.  There is a hesitation after you make a tab active.  But I have noticed that in the x64 nightlies for some time.  One reason I use the 32 bit instead.

I found it on BetaNews. And on eMule.

I like the Mute This Tab button.  :-*

It is also now on Mozilla Firefox main download page:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#en-US

but somehow or other Softpedia seems to get wind of a copy before the Mozilla site.  Seems like it has been this way for awhile.  Maybe a softpedia worker also is inside Mozilla team someplace?

Edit: I'll have to try out the button.  :)

I notice "display tab previews in taskbar" does nothing.  Maybe my taskbar settings are blocking it though.

Tuxman:
Maybe they just regularly have an eye on the Mozilla release servers.

Which is actually a bad idea, given that releases may contain bugs and be replaced before they are announced.
