Looking to browse with the full weight of your 64-bit hardware? Well, if you're a Firefox and Windows user,
you're going to have to look elsewhere, as Mozilla has announced it's closing the development of Firefox for
the bigger computer architecture.
Mozilla manager, Benjamin Smedberg outlined several reasons for the decision, including limited access to
64-bit plugins, a higher propensity for the browser to hang when using available plug-ins and difficulty
distinguishing between 32- and 64-bit versions when dealing with stability complaints.

What are the options then, if you need your browsing 64-bit? You could return to Internet Explorer or give
Opera a try -- both offer a higher bit version, or make a switch to either OS X or Linux, both of which have
fully-fleshed versions of the 64-bit web browser.
