Anyone tried WaterFox ?

It's a 64 bit version of FireFox
"Waterfox is a high performance browser based on the Mozilla Firefox source code. Made specifically for 64-Bit systems, Waterfox has one thing in mind: speed."

I downloaded it from here
Waterfox - Download - The fastest 64-bit variant of Firefox on the web

Working well for me and I like the way it imports all your options, add ons and bookmarks automatically so the change over from FireFox to WaterFox is seamless.

Interesting thanks. I'll wait until there's some solid reports about stability in an official release before trying it though.

Linux and Mac users have enjoyed having a 64-bit versions of Firefox available to them for nearly the past two years. However, for us Windows users, Mozilla has been teasing us and/or dragging their feet with 64-Bit Firefox. As a point of clarification I should say that there has been since Firefox 4 (may be even further back) 64-bit Windows builds on the Nightly Developmental channel. These are not official releases and have never made into the Aurora or Beta stage, much less release. There has been some progress moving towards a Win 64-bit Firefox in that most (if not all) the popular Windows based Plugins (Flash, Java, Silverlight, etc.) are now available in 64-bit versions. Also, Mozilla has moved over recently to Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 compiler, still there is a lot of work that needs to be done before there will be an official Windows 64-Bit Firefox release.
