See background summary, market analysis, goals and objectives, [[Firefox/win64/meetingarchive|here]].
== Goal ==
To Release Win64 in GA before the end of 2015 in order to offer our users better experience with improvements in stability, performance, and security. Deliver these benefits in a phased roll-out and avoid the breakage for our General Audience. This means opt-in only until we are confident that we have achieved parity with Win32 for our users.


== What have we accomplished so far to reach it? ==
= Plan =
√ Solved test bustage<br>
√ Release automation for Aurora and Beta <br>
√ Merged to Nightly 38 prior to the Firefox 10th anniversary launch and rode the trains to Firefox 38 Aurora/Developer Edition<br>
√ Win64 builds are currently available, [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/ here]<br>
√ Reinstate Support for Silverlight {{bug|1225293}}<br>
√ Post GA version of Win64, here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ <br>
√ Publish Blog Post: [https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/12/15/firefox-64-bit-for-windows-available/ Firefox 64-bit for Windows Available with Limited Plugin Support]


== Next Steps ==
# {{mdone|}} Release 64-bit Firefox builds: [https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/12/15/firefox-64-bit-for-windows-available/ 2015-12-15 release announcement].
#Prioritize Stub Installer to help release automation testing and for download/install experience for our users, see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1140411#c7
# {{mprop|}} Make 64-bit Firefox a ''non-default'' option in the stub installer. ({{bug|797208}})
#Identify a mid to long-term roadmap
# {{mprop|}} Make 64-bit Firefox the ''default'' in the stub installer for ''some'' eligible users.
# {{mprop|}} Make 64-bit Firefox the default in the stub installer for ''all'' eligible users.
# {{mprop|}} Auto-upgrade existing eligible 32-bit Firefox users to 64-bit. ({{bug|1274659}})
