Type "about:config" into your address bar (click "I'll be Careful).
Find the settings below and change them:
- network.http.pipelining > TRUE
- network.http.pipelining.maxrequests > 100
- network.http.proxy.pipelining > TRUE
Then, right click anywhere, and select New > Integer.
- nglayout.initialpaintdelay > 0
Then go browsing some crazy pages like www.yahoo.com and www.msn.com and feel the power!
Basically, pipelining allows the browser to send multiple requests and receive information through multiple threads, while the initialpaintdelay forces the browser to wait 0ms before sending a request.

Theres an x64 version of Thunderbird too.
If you look at the last post i think it is on page one, I was saying how the only thing lacking in x64 browsers is flash support.
Twitter (Im following Mozilla) says over 8 million downloads. Their website says 9.4 million.
