Firefox 8 is out! Faster, 64-bit, Twitter

The new Firefox version 8.0 just came out - featuring greater performance and an official first 64-bit release of the browser.  The 64-bit versions of any software hold greater potential for performance with 64-bit operating systems.  If your computer is less than 5 years old, you may be running a 64-bit system now.  There's also a built-in native twitter search built right into the browser's search field (right of the url field).


ExtremeTech.com reveals the 64-bit version of Firefox 8 is 10% faster than the 32-bit version. 
Here are their benchmark results.
