A lot of us have changed our settings to show 20 results a page and things like that. It’ll help save resources, they say, and speed the site up

I'm not worried about that, I've changed my settings from 100 per page to 50, with only breaking news on the sidebar. FR is working fine with the occasional hiccup, though I don't expect that election night will be easy for anyone who regulars it. I suspect many websites will be slow or non-existent.

But Waterfox, while I like the concept, is not completely compatible with many plugins like the ones I mentioned in my earlier post. Their website says that the only 64-bit plugins available are Silverlight, Java and Flash Player, and even Flash Player is a bit buggy.

I wouldn't recommend anyone use Waterfox until they get the bugs worked out, or until Firefox itself goes 64-bit with COMPLETE compatibility for the many plugins people use.

Until then, I'll stick with FF9 until a good 64-bit browser comes available.
