    64-bit Firefox progress report: 2017-07-18

    We are on track to make 64-bit Firefox the default build for Win64 OS,
    bringing improved ASLR and fewer OOM crashes to the 70% of Windows
    Firefox users running Win64.

    PLANS:

    * In Firefox 55 (August 8), the Windows stub installer will default to
    64-bit Firefox for eligible users (Win64 and 2+ GB RAM).

    * In Firefox 56 (September 26), we will migrate existing eligible 32-bit
    Firefox users to 64-bit. About 70% of Windows Firefox users currently
    run 32-bit Firefox build on Win64. Nearly all of these users can be
    migrated to 64-bit Firefox.

    Our Win64 project wiki has more details about the long road to making
    64-bit Firefox the default:
