    Over the years Flash has caused more problems for me, than just about ANY other single piece of software....

    You name, i've had it....from 'driver stopped responding' to total PC Hard locks, which needed a total power down to get back in....

    How did such a buggy piece of crap become the internet standard that it did?......

    I have very little time for Steve Jobs and Apple, but for me, his views on Flash and non inclusion on Apple hardware are bang on the money.

    In the same page that you install the 64 bit version, you also have the "uninstall tool" as a separate proggie.
    I am using it for two days now and I have any problems so far. But I have not noticed any difference. But I am not a hardcore flash user.

    What exactly are you bitching about? It's a developer's preview build! Oh my GOD, you have to update it manually!!!

    Go OSX if you can't be bothered...

    What happen to Adobe?
    Since when they give 2 crap about Flash?
    I guess finally having serious competition (HTML5 and Silverlight) woke them up.

    :sigh:

    I have a question though, now that I have flash on 64-bit IE9, does anyone knoe a way to make windows 7 allow it to be the default browser? (Windows doesn't let 64-bit IE9 to be the default browser, only the 32-bit one.)

    That could well be the first the first time anyone has ever asked how to make IE their default browser!

    It's my default browser at work... :sigh:

    Damnit, bwin! Get your stuff together and start programming/designing internal apps for proper browsers!

    Then again... Sharepoint will never really support FF, will it? ;)

    Downloaded this earlier today.

    First thing I did was go on Youtube in Namoroka (Firefox 64-bit) and watch a video. The video played fine, but then at the end the browser crashed....

    Still needs ironing out.

    I was going to give this a try, but it looks like there are no official 64 bit versions of Firefox yet!

    And to anyone running one of the unofficial builds of it - do the regular plugins still work?
