After all main stream 64bit processors and OSes have only been around a short what 10 years or so right? And it's only been like 4 years or more since everyone stopped shipping any new 32bit processors designs outside of a few mobile systems. Not sure this new 64 bit idea is going to take off or not yet right? Then there's the whole multiple core thing. Not sure if it's going to make it either since they only have what 4 cores in some mobile devices now? Probably need to wait until they have at least 8 cores so the browser is the only single thread app left on their systems right?</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;

use it.

</div>I fail to follow your logic. There is no such thing as a<br>
"badly-written x64 application" like there is a "badly-written<br>
multi-threaded application".<br>
I don't think you understand how constrained Mozilla's resources are.<br>
They're stretched incredibly thin, both with money (to a certain<br>
extent) and manpower (to a much greater extent). Spending resources on<br>
x64 is simply not a priority given the extremely limited advantage.<br></blockquote><div>Stepping back and looking on, this reads like a long-term eulogy to me.
