At the time it was the only 64-bit FireFox I had found that was 
complete, (unlike PaleMoon which removes a lot of things), and it 
handled keeping lots of tabs and windows open better that 32-bit FF.

And the bloke wot does it plays around with compilers and optimisation 
settings and memory managers to try and get the best overall performance 
that he can.  Sadly the FF types have started to get clever[1] and are 
trying to manage memory better[1], which conflicts with the smart memory 
managers, and there is a 64-bit FF build from Mozilla now, so it's not 
as big a deal as it was.
