When you initially launch the browser, you'll be given the option to populate it with your personal settings, bookmarks, and other data from the Firefox browser. If you are already a user of Firefox, Waterfox will be quite easy to adopt. Several software tweaks have been implemented that separate Firefox from Waterfox, and the software has been designed to favor speed over everything else. While a simple conversion of Firefox to a 64-bit browser would have been sufficient, Waterfox is uniquely named because it is different enough from the original to warrant such a distinction. 64-bit systems are also much more stable than older systems, and Waterfox can use that stability to produce an unrivaled web browsing experience. Since Waterfox is specifically designed to work with 64-bit systems, it can run at a faster pace thanks to the additional utility of the RAM and the greater processing speeds. This is because the code for Waterfox is based off a stripped down version of Firefox that has been optimized for speed in 64-bit systems, which are starting to become the industry standard. Overall Opinion: There isn't much of a difference between the underlying code behind Waterfox and the code that powers Firefox.
