6.a: Mozilla Firefox : Although Windows 7 / Vista 64 include both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Internet Explorer, version 8 in the case of Windows 7, many prefer more secure products. The 32 bit versions of Firefox work without a hitch under both operating systems. I’ve found version 3.6.3 to be as stable as the 32 bit version. Mozilla’s flagship product remains a favorite due to its extensible architecture (it perfected the browser plug-in long before anyone else) and constant updates to increase performance and usability.
