A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.

Thanks to vissha for the update.

For those who are using the 32bit version, just install the 64bit version, open it so that it's using your profile and then uninstall normally the 32bit version, your settings, addons, etc. will be retained.

Why you are posting links only for Windows in frontpage?

Please help other people using different OS who'd like to use the latest version thereby we can encourage the forum people as well

It's just me or FF x64 works like crap? Extremely slow! Cyberfox (x64) works like a charm!

It's just you. For me it works fine, with no slowing down or whatever. Win 7 x64.

Link for 64-bit version in frontpage points to 32-bit version.

The correct one is:

https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/42.0/win64/
Fixed now - thanks!

That worked swell here (upgrading from a 32-bit to a 64-bit version) - thanks for the tip.

Thank you...

For 32bit to 64bit migration, I shared the same answer earlier in frontpage thread itself.

I'm waiting for Firefox Android 42.0. Once links are active, will update in nsane.

If you have 32Bit installed you can uninstall it Firefox will not remove the profile and install the 64Bit after it will read all settings and bookmarks but just in case use MozBackup before the uninstall

The 64bits installer must to install in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox on Windows 7 x64, but it isn't why the default path for this Firefox x64 iinstallation is C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox.

Then what it is a x86 or x64 binary?

Did you try uninstalling the 32-bit (and then rebooting) before attempting to install the 64-bit? yXZVmpE.gif

It might install in both places for support for x86 and x64.

I think due to naming issues with 32bit and 64bit installation files, you might be trying to install 32bit instead of 64bit.

Please check the image in this post heading - Special Case: Firefox 32-bit to 64-bit.

Chrome x64 also installs on C:\Program Files (x86)\Google

Some 64-bit programs do install at the Program Files (x86) directory if the 32-bit entries are encountered at the registry — not a healthy sign, though. ;)

I second the naming thing. Installer should be called Firefox 42.0 Setup-x64.exe. Too much to ask?

On the other hand, it's working fine. It was the forum that had a slowdown the very second I was trying FF x64.

Oh, and about the installation location, FF x64 installed where it should (i.e. c:\program files).

Note:
1- Silent install
2- Set homepage to Google.com
3- Always ask you where to download files
4- Ask to save open tabs when you close Firefox with many tabs open
5- Enjoy!

Do not make a panic. Something does not need to uninstall and no reboot is not required.
Apart from this - you do not have to install Firefox x64 to default plase, ie to

% ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox

You can install whereever You want. Also in the same place, where was Firefox x86, ie to location

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox

or where ever You want.
You can also use both, ie FF 32-bit and FF 64-bit. In case you want to use them at the same time (simultaneously), you must create a new profile for x64.
Firefox never need to uninstall, because Firefox is a completely self-contained. Just delete the whole old folder (better - shred or wipe) and clean the registry - CCleaner is quite sufficient for this purpose.

Removed Waterfox and deleted folder

Installed FF x64 and ran CCleaner

Cannot open any google pages including search, maps and youtube

Also he search box at the top doesn't work (default search is google)

Getting same error on all therse pages

This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.google.ca, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.

Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

Also Pages on Yahoo are not rendering properly.

Other HTTPS pages are loading ok

Not impressed with FF 64 bit so far

Any one else having issues like this?

If it is so, then something must be wrong with your system or with settings.
Sometimes it happens if Firefox User Data (profile) has been damaged. Then helps if you delete all except the Bookmarks.

Firefox does not need to be reinstalled, about it does not depend on anything.

Oh, and BTW, there's an EME (a.k.a DRM)-Free version of FF available. Get that if you don't want the adobe DRM plugin on your system.
