That's been my experience as well. I found out that Mozilla had started 64-bit versions for the beta channel, so I uninstalled my 32-bit version and installed the 64-bit version. I also use to have several OOM's a week with the 32-bit version and with the 64-bit version I have had none. The stability of the 64-bit version is impressive. Also, memory usage isn't all that different for me as well. As soon as Mozilla irons out all the critical bugs and end NPAPI support, it really should upgrade every one it thinks would benefit to the 64-bit version. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
