No, but it's based of the Mozilla Firefox source code, specifically made for 64-bit and Speed.

I think Waterfox is better to have instead of Firefox on a 64 bit machine due to the reasons that Earth said.

Waterfox is much faster on a 64 bit machine! Waterfox uses your Firefox profile so you must be careful when uninstalling Waterfox making sure you don't have the remove personal data box ticked.After using it though you probably wont want to uninstall it

on 64 bits systems you have :

- Waterfox
- Palemoon
- Firefox Nightly (but dev will be stopped)

Firefox 64-bit is a "constant source of misunderstanding and frustration," the engineer wrote that the builds often crash, many plugins are not available in 64-bit versions, and hangs are more common due to a lack of coding which causes plugins to function incorrectly.
