Are you aware that Flash will not work in Firefox x64?

Why would you want a 64-bit web browser today?

mduell has a great point. It's not like a web browser is designed to consume anywhere close to the amount of memory that 64 bit enables. It won't be until each page is its own thread (which is being worked on) where there would be theroetical gains, as I understand it, and even then these would have to be very, very unusual sites.

IE x64 is very speedy too compared to x86 IE.
Safari on Snow Leopard runs as x64 by default and Apple bills javascript as up to 50% faster. Flash runs in its own thread, which I guess is how Apple gets it to run while allowing Safari to run as x64.
