It's 64 bit firefox, but based on the stable channel. Nightly is a 64bit version that is rather unstable sometimes. Waterfox is 100% solid, all the time, and follows the stable releases of 32 bit firefox. It's also much faster.

I just learned of Waterfox a few weeks back and I'm glad to use it with all the open windows and tabs I have up

Did anyone actually go from Google Chrome to Waterfox and see a noticeable difference? It seems like Google Chrome is actually a bit faster than Waterfox.
