It’s taken nearly a decade but Mozilla has finally released 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows to its stable channel.
Mozilla points out that Firefox 64-bit for Windows offers gains in performance for those running 64-bit systems although it also has limited support for plugins by design. As such, users will notice that some sites requiring plugins that work with 32-bit versions of Firefox may not work with the new 64-bit variant.
As Mozilla has previously stated, it’s phasing out support for most NPAPI plugins in Firefox – something it hopes to complete by the end of 2016.
