Mozilla is partly returned to him of his intention to no longer 64bit versions of Firefox for Windows to develop. The browserbouwer will 64bit-builds continue to be cast in the Nightly-testkanaal, but this will not be the official lwa le support.
Last month, asked Mozilla developers to stop the development of 64bit versions of Firefox for Windows, though it has never been an official 64bit edition of Firefox for Windows released. The testuitvoeringen would, according to Mozilla engineering manager Benjamin Smedberg for confusion and reporting bugs stayed too long on the shelf. Also, there would be insufficient 64bit versions of popular plug-ins. Mozilla was also the intention of the development of 64bit builds within the Nightly-testkanaal to cease.
In a new posting on Google Groups will report Smedberg Mozilla after reviewing user feedback, the plans around the 64bit builds yet, will adjust. In the browserbouwer especially Firefox users come to meet hundreds of tabs open in the browser and thus against the 4GB limit of the 32bit-edition run.
According to the amended proposals from Mozilla, there remain ‘win64-builds’ release of Firefox within the Nightly-testkanaal. Users get, however, after installing these nightlies to see a notification message that they have no support. Also, the crash reporter will be disabled and the click-to-play feature enabled for plug-ins in an attempt to increase stability.
Mozilla will the 64bit versions do not bring in its regular testing program. This must be the workload of the testing team reduce. However, the browserbouwer 32bit versions of Firefox continue to test on 64bit versions of Windows. For Windows 8 is the 64bit edition and even the standard test environment.
