If you long for the days of Mozilla, you can use SeaMonkey, the successor to the full Mozilla suite. These features were ripped out of Firefox to make it a more focused, speedy Web browser. Firefox was the evolution of the “Mozilla Application Suite,” which also contained email, IRC chat, HTML-editing, and newsgroup capabilities. SeaMonkey isn’t technically based on Firefox, but it’s closely related. It also uses its own configuration directory, unlike Waterfox. Pale Moon diverges from Firefox in removing accessibility and parental control options, while modifying the default interface settings to be similar to earlier versions of Firefox - it has a bookmark toolbar and status bar by default. Pale Moon is another “optimized” build of Firefox for Windows, but it also has a 32-bit version. If you decide to uninstall it, don’t select the “Remove my personal data” option unless you also want to delete your Firefox data. Waterfox uses the same profile data Firefox does, so switching to Waterfox is easy. The current installers come with both 32 and 64-bit plugins. If you’ve already got Flash installed, you may need to download its installer to get the 64-bit version, too.
Many plugins, including Adobe Flash, now have 64-bit versions, so using a 64-bit browser for day-to-day browsing is very possible. Waterfox takes Firefox’s code and compiles it for 64-bit Windows, without adding additional features or making other changes.
Mozilla doesn’t provide official builds of Firefox compiled for 64-bit systems yet.
