FF 4 beta build 1 has no x64 version the x86 ( win32 ) version is meant for both 64 bit and 32 bit windows version.

I installed it on xp x64 bit and it's working without any hitch

BTW, build 2 is out

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b1-candidates/build2/

Not by a long shot. But now it's half as slow instead of one third.
Give it time, more performance improvements are on the way.

I think it would be better to wait for the final build - I think it will be quick enough

 

[xitij2000]

By end of this year I think. Who can wait that long?
Not me! Nightlies it is!

Re: FireFox 4 beta 1 ready to download, test & taste.

^^ why posting double thread when one thread regarding this topic has already started :

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/technology-news/128870-here-comes-first-build-firefox-4-a.html

and FF beta build 2 is already out.

so look before creating a new thread - use the search feature and collect latest news as far as possible and avoid creating thread on same topic
