2Pale Moon: Firefox enhanced and in 64bit

I’ve been look­ing for a 64bit Fire­fox for a couple of years now, pretty much since Java and Flash play­er became avail­able in 64bit.  Moz­illa seem in no hurry to pro­gress the mine­field night­lies into a full release, but sev­er­al third parties have taken the open source code and com­piled it for 64bit.  I’ve looked at sev­er­al of these and the best sup­por­ted and most reg­u­larly updated seems to be a build called Pale Moon.

I’ve been using Pale Moon for sev­er­al weeks now and have found that it works just as well as Fire­fox did.  It is also fully com­pat­ible with all of the plu­gins and addins that I use for Fire­fox.  Unlike most oth­er 3^rd party builds of Fire­fox it does­n’t share a pro­file with Fire­fox, so you can keep Fire­fox along­side without mix­ing pro­files.  For any­one look­ing for a 64bit ver­sion of fire­fox I can highly recom­mend it.
