Although Mozilla has long had 64-bit versions for macOS and Linux, it shelved work on one for Windows in November 2012, only to recant and restart the project a month later. Mozilla's move was just the latest in a very long process to replace the older 32-bit Firefox with the more capable 64-bit version. Google shipped a Windows 64-bit Chrome in August 2014 and one for macOS in November of that year, while Apple's Safari and Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) have had 64-bit editions on macOS and Windows since 20, respectively. Mozilla's rivals have offered 64-bit browsers for, in some cases, years. A 64-bit browser on a 64-bit operating system can address more than the 4GB of memory available to a 32-bit application, letting users keep open hundreds of tabs, and run larger, more sophisticated web apps.
