Browser Application Development

ComputerWorld columnist Gregg Keiser writes that Mozilla suspends work on 64-bit Firefox for Windows. Keiser indicates the Mozilla team did not want to release a browser that would be incompatable with the installed base of addons. He notes that the browser shipped with Windows 8 retains a 32-bit coding for its tabs for the same reason.

My own take is this: that developing new 64-bit browser addons will be potential job market in the future.
