Great, now firefox is capable of eating up 8 TB of ram instead of being locked down to 4 gigs by the 32 bit architecture.

So far its been working good. and memory usage is about the same as with 32 bit. I was browsing newegg.com and it seemed slow but I think its newegg site itself as i have seen slow loading from there before. I think its faster on sites with lots of images.

Ok its been about a week of using this and I certify it as stable LOL. i also loaded up a webpage that feeds images more and more the further that I scroll down and I managed to load Waterfox with 2.7 gigs worth of html and images in memory and it survived! So if I can do that then i guess It can handle any other site.
