Hi, 

 

Is that open-source code? Thanks.

Here's a 64-bit browser based on stable Firefox: http://www.palemoon.org/

Windows only though, and has some modifications.

Hi, Brian.  Good discovery. At the same time, however, that is an unexpected
and unfortunate situation. I surely assumed that this was an open-source
project. The program runs quite well, but its not being open-source causes
me no small amount of concern. I would like to have a (stable) 64-bit
version of Firefox that is in fact open-source. If you know of one, please
advise. Thanks.


John
