oh i asked because when i googled the question it comes up saying that only the 32bit firefox works/is supported in windows 7 and that firefox hasnt brought out a stable 64 bit version yet so i was confused?

Called Waterfox, evidently

" Waterfox uses the same profile that Firefox does. If you uninstall Waterfox make sure you don't have the remove personal data box ticked! "

" Waterfox is a Faster, 64-Bit Optimized Version of Firefox for Windows PCs "

Firefox 11.0 is running entirely happily on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system. (So is Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit!)

Firefox works well on my Windows 7 64 bit. Worth remembering that 64 bit machines also run 32 bit programmes without blinking an eye.

So if anyone gets a computer and isn't totally familiar with the intricacies of 64 and 32 bit programs they should be subject to your sarcasm?

He is probably lucky he hasn't confessed to using Avast!
