Am I running Waterfox 64bit?

A restart could make it easy :)

How about an OS reinstall?

Thanks...that website takes forever to load a page...it's horrendous...or maybe my Firefox is just starting to suck more.

Jesus...who would have thought a simple browser could be such a bitch.

If Waterfox doesn't have a water-tight download then they can get stuffed.

I'll persist with FF until something that works out of the box comes along.

thanks

If Waterfox is installed correctly under the Help > About menu Waterfox should resemble the image pictured below.

Hi,

Double-check to see that the icons are pointing to the correct executable. Also when Waterfox/Firefox is open, open TaskManager and see if you can find the Waterfox executable under the processes tab.

Image of Taskmanager under processes tab as per Golden's quote above from post #2.



Before installing Waterfox I first backed up my extensions, themes and bookmarks in my current Firefox installation using the FEBE extension which is a firefox add on.

I then completely uninstalled Firefox & all customizations and also the Firefox folder in C:\Program Files x86.

I then installed Waterfox and installed the FEBE add on after searching for it under "Get add ons". After FEBE was installed in Waterfox I restored my saved extensions themes & bookmarks.

Bookmarks can also be natively exported from current firefox to a file & imported into Waterfox.

I just tried to install Waterfox on my work computer which is essentially the same as my home rig (though nowhere near as powerful haha)...and it installed no problem...without uninstalling Firefox or anything.

It may be something to do with the fact that I had not shut my home computer down for a few days. Also not sure if I opted to have Waterfox as the default browser during the install at home...which I did do here at work.

So anyway...Waterfox is running fine on this work computer. I'll try again at home later.

Waterfox seems alright. I use browsers in purely vanilla mode anyway...no plugins...at least no weird, special plugins

thanks

Well I came home for lunch and installed Waterfox successfully. I suppose my computer needed a reboot.

Anyway...don't notice much difference yet between FF and WF

Glad to hear you have had success hello people I didn't notice much difference either except that Waterfox is a 64 bit browser and the only plugins used by Waterfox are Java, Flash and Siverlight plugins whereas regular Firefox was also using related plugins from other programs installed on my computer.

all waterfox is another browser that is over hyped

I downloaded it and it runs hella fast but nothing i would loose sleep over if i didnt have it

By the way the icon is set in my task bar i could also set it on the bottom it works fine

I've just been noticing a few ever so slight frustrations in Firefox lately...that's why I wanted to look at another option.
