    Waterfox Setup G6.5.0.exe

Waterfox provides you with a high-performance browser 64-Bit version of Mozilla Firefox. The Firefox source code was taken and compiled in order to specifically run for 64-Bit Windows computers. To make Waterfox Current stand out from the crowd, it was compiled with many optimizations so that it will perform faster and more efficiently than simply compiling Firefox as a 64-Bit program.

Use this version of Waterfox Current if you want the latest and greatest the web has to offer, want to use all WebExtensions, and a few bootstrap extensions. Also, you can check the Waterfox Classic.

What's new in this version:

Changed:
- A re-jig of the system requirements to run Waterfox. We now expect the same minimum as Windows 10. For posterity, that essentially means for our x86 builds, any CPU that supports SSE31.
- We have now bumped the “tuned” CPU code generation to match Skylake2 processor instruction sets. This should result in better performance if you have an Intel Skylake (or equivalent AMD processor) or better.

New Features:
- You should now see a Table of Contents in the Preferences page, for easier navigation of settings
- You can now set any URL as the new tab page by setting the browser.newtab.url preference in about:config3
- The old school password manager has been re-implemented, available at about:passwords
- The old school configuration manager has been re-implemented, available at about:cfg
