Mozilla 64-bit Firefox Turn out the lights, the 64-bit Firefox party is over. After developers discussed the topic in a somewhat lengthy thread, Mozilla has decided to shelve any and all work related to 64-bit versions of the Firefox browser. That includes nightly and hourly releases. Developer Benjamin Smedberg first proposed the idea of ceasing 64-bit development due to the builds being "a constant source of misunderstanding and frustration."
