There is no plan for the x64 support for FF 2.0 yet.
But it might change smile:)

I'd really like to see that happen.
I'm on Vista 64bit right now... moving to Windows7 64bit soon.
It would be nice to have more 64bit software.

+3 (more folks are making the move to 64 bit due to ram limitations on 32 bit)
If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

I just built a new budget AMD system for my girlfriend with an Athlon II X4 quad-core CPU and 4GB of DDR3 RAM... and... 64bit OS.
Cost me ~$500.
Anyone building a system now has no reason not to go with 64bit.

I would like to see 64-bit support happening too. I work on a Vista machine at the studio and my home machine is Windows 7 both are 64-bit. Gotta have that RAM. smile:)

Ditto on the 64-bit here.

I moved to Win7 from XP this last fall (well, mostly on win7 except when I'm reinstalling it...it's not the most stable given my abuse). The only reason I moved was 64-bit support -- was hitting the out of memory too often on XP in # of Apps I run. I don't like shutting down apps and restarting -- I lose my place too often. My Firefox sessions would almost use a Gig by themselves (I turned the memory cache way up). But even now in 64 bit, it's amazing how much more easily you can get carried away on larger images in photoshop that end up being near a Gig, compressed on disk.

What alot of software vendors haven't realized is there's been a delay to upgrade to 64-bit due to Vista's non-adoption rate. Power users were stuck back using XP and crashing against MS's enforced memory limit for XP (32bit server editions can access up to 64G -- XP could to if it wasn't limited by MS license; fat chance of that ever getting fixed).

As people move to Win7, they'll move to 64-bit as well, since home computers have been getting sold with maxed out 4G address space memory for 2 years now. For desktops to move forward, they'll be sold with 64-bit from the gitgo.

'Sides could give ~ 15-20% performance boost in numeric calcs.
