Although he didn't explicitly ask, I think Rudy wanted some reasons -
especially for using it if it's only available (so far) in 32 bit
(assuming he has a 64-bit OS).

Either version will be the same - there is no 64 bit official version of
Firefox - so he should use v8, as it is the most secure.

Win7 64-bit has no problems running 32-bit FF.

Apart from that, the real question is whether the "improvements" to FF
are worth the hassle of learning small, and therefore annoying, changes
in work habits. I don't think so, but YMMV.

Is there a newsgroup for Firefox?

I could certainly use one.

Yes, it's on Mozilla's private server so you'll have to set up your
newsreader (Agent) for news.mozilla.org and then look for the Firefox
newsgroup mozilla.support.firefox.
