Firefox 32 bit or Firefox 64 bit

Which one are you using?

 

64-bit

 

Cyberfox/Firefox 64

 

Here's a recent article on ghacks comparing performance between 32 and 64 bit browsers. Many interesting and informative charts and graphs. I pasted an example of ram usage comparisons in the 2 versions of Firefox.

Using 64-bit

 

Firefox 64-bit

 

I've been using 64-bit for a few years now.

Here's a reason to consider using a 64 bit browser:

32-bit here because the memory use became extremely high and caused freezes with 64-bit on my old system (3 GB RAM).

 

Cyberfox 64-bit.

Interesting point about security in the comments section of the article.

32 bit. I find the 64 bit uses twice the memory and chokes a little on sites that seem fine on 32 bit. That, and the obvious compatibility issues. I really wanted a 64 bit but unlike everyone else they haven't gotten it right. 64 bit Chrome seems to have no such issues.
