From the changelog:<p>&gt; <i>autocomplete=off is no longer supported for username&#x2F;password fields</i><p>As far as I can recall, autocomplete=off was originally added specifically for username and password fields, so somebody who nicked your laptop couldn&#x27;t go to your bank&#x27;s website and have your username and password filled in.<p>As a power user I find autocomplete=off pretty annoying, but I&#x27;ve got ways to work around it. I&#x27;m very curious what the rationale for this change is.

64-bit Windows builds, finally! This is great news. The rate of (virtual) OOM crashes on Windows is pretty high because a 32-bit address space just isn&#x27;t enough for many workloads these days, and 64-bit builds solves that problem definitely.

This is much needed for us at <a href="http://Clara.io" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;Clara.io</a>. We have for the last 8 months been detecting when users who are using 32 bit desktop browsers and have been putting up in-app warnings directing people to upgrade to 64 bit versions.<p>Our forum post about the issue:<p><a href="http://forum.clara.io/t/information-on-64-bit-web-browsers/979" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;forum.clara.io&#x2F;t&#x2F;information-on-64-bit-web-browsers&#x2F;9...</a>

Nifty, but unfortunately we&#x27;re still kinda limited to 32-bit addressing in typed arrays. It&#x27;d be nice if JS had an actual integer type that went up to 64 bits.

64-bit Windows builds of Firefox have been available for quite a while from the Waterfox Project:<p><a href="https://www.waterfoxproject.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.waterfoxproject.org</a>

Chrome displays if the browser is 64bit in its about box, but for Firefox that information is a bit harder to find out.<p>It&#x27;s in about:buildconfig

From the comments, if you&#x27;ve got the 32bit version installed and want to install the 64bit version (basically, it&#x27;s not an update from one to the other):<p>– Uninstall Win32 – Don’t remove your profile – Install Win64 (it’s a full installer vs. a update)

I just want a browser that runs on Android with developer tools built in.

Been using 64 bit Nightly builds (from Mozilla) for years. Not sure why this is news.

<i>If you haven’t downloaded the Developer Edition browser yet, it’s a fine time to give it a try. Here’s why:</i><p>Aha, so where can I try that Unreal Engine 4 demo myself?

Wow, that is pretty cool. At what point is a browser indistinguishable from an emulated virtual computer?

BTW, fixing open source JITs to support Windows x64 SEH properly is on my wishlist for MS Open Tech.

Was Firefox for Linux x64?

Now, there&#x27;s no limit to how much memory the browser can consume.<p>I hope this doesn&#x27;t turn into a license to bloat.
