Firefox 8 for Windows x64: Has 64-bit browsing Come of Age?

“Over the last couple of weeks, Mozilla has finally stepped up its 64-bit testing process. There are now five slaves dedicated to building Firefox for Windows x64, which means that from Firefox 8 and onwards, you’ll be able to pick up 64-bit builds that are functionally identical to its 32-bit cousins but operating in native 64-bit CPU and memory space.” Th 64bit version is about 10% faster, benchmarks show.
