Aside from its name on the menu at the top of the main window, there’s nothing to differentiate it from Firefox. This makes it instantly familiar to existing Firefox users – Waterfox is based on the current stable Firefox build, which means it functions in exactly the same way. This is a dedicated 64-bit browser based on Firefox’s open source code, compiled specifically for 64-bit versions of Windows, complete with optimizations to help speed things up a little more. Despite the growing popularity of 64-bit though, we're still in that transitional phase where many applications are still only available in 32-bit builds – they're compatible with 64-bit, but you get none of the performance benefits 64-bit computing can bring.įirefox is one such example: the latest Nightly build is available in 64-bit, but we're at least six months away from it making the transition through Aurora and Beta to a final release.įor those who can’t wait for Firefox to embrace 64-bit, take a look at Waterfox instead. If you're using Windows, this is the address: and do the same as described above.64-bit is the future of computing and one obvious benefit of running a 64-bit version of Windows is the fact it allows you to access more than 3.5GB of RAM, helping speed up your computer.

In case the interface language doesn't change, open the browser settings and choose interface language manually. Just confirm, restart the browser and that's it! The browser will ask whether you want the extension to install. Mine is bg.xpi, so that's what I downloaded. Simply open this FTP address: (for LINUX) and click on the XPI with your native language abbreviation. So, the thing is simple and you don't need to wait for Waterfox language packs. It's not that IDK English, lol, I just got used to having interface in my language. Since the G3 language packs are not yet ready, I found a way to use interface in my native language.
