    I was double checking that I was using 64 bit browser versions and I was kind of surprised that It wasn't. I re-downloaded Firefox and I didn't see a 32/64 bit option. After installation I see it's 32 bit and from what I can tell my version is up to date. There is a beta version of Chrome that's 64 bit, but the typical download is 32 bit. How common are 64 bit browsers? Should I be testing my content in a 64 bit browser if most users are using a 32 bit version? Thanks.

    On OSX, browsers are 64bit. The problem is on Windows, where many people are still running 32-bit browsers. In fact, I believe the default Chrome download is still 32-bit, and Firefox 64-bit has only been released recently. So, really, you should be testing with both.
