Waterfox 6.5.7 x64 – High-Performance 64-Bit Web Browser Based on Firefox
Overview
Waterfox is a high-performance, open-source web browser built on the Mozilla Firefox source code and optimized specifically for 64-bit operating systems. Developed to provide a faster and more efficient browsing experience, Waterfox maintains complete compatibility with Firefox extensions and plugins while delivering speed improvements through advanced compiler optimizations.
Waterfox is essentially Firefox at its core—sharing its interface and features—but with enhanced performance for modern 64-bit systems. It’s tailored for users who need a Firefox-like browser but demand better speed and full 64-bit plugin support.
⚠️ Note: Waterfox shares Firefox profiles and settings. If you’re using both, avoid selecting “Clear all personal data” to prevent data loss.
