I don't think that's in the free version.

Does waterfox work with addons like magic actions for youtube?
Also what difference is there in terms of speed firefox(x86) vs waterfox?(x64)

All addons work fine, it even just uses your FF profile etc. It works way faster with memory heavy sites, and there's definitely no slowdowns with anything else. According to their benchmarks, normal browsing is faster as well.
I just had to wipe some malware from my dad's PC. He needs it to check a few webpages, but they're IE only, and he's still running XP (and that's as much as that old thing will run). Are there any linux distros out there that I can configure to work more or less like windows (start>shutdown in roughly the same location, web browser that fully supports IE somehow) that'll run on a machine that can only run XP?

no
what makes you think this is the right thread to ask such a question
My recommendation is the same for all people who want to learn a musical instrument.
Pay for a couple of 1on1 lessons just to get your technique nailed down. Bad technique will seriously hinder your playing down the line and is a very hard thing to change.
I play piano or organ for ambience, half the time I mess around with the sounds on my computer to get eerie-ness tones and whatnot and out comes ambient music.
At least it's computer-related. I wonder if my next course will entail when I'm 20.
Speaking of instruments and shit, here's something I made yesterday on the ol Powermac G5

Windows 7 takes surprisingly little to run, just as long as it has at least 1GB RAM. I got it working fairly okay on an athlon XP box once.

I've noticed this. Had it running pretty well on an old Pentium 4 XP machine a while ago.

The website constantly mentions it's 64-bit
how could you possibly miss that

How much RAM does he have? If he has at least 2 GB (1 is passable, but he would be best with 2), he'll most likely be fine using 7 32 bit, and anything with that much RAM is probably has the power to muster 7. If he has <512 MB and an ancient PIII, he may want to consider buying a new machine.
Otherwise, he's out of luck if it comes to IE only web pages that can't be simply fooled by changing the user agent. IIRC, IE doesn't exactly play well with WINE and the only alternative is running a VM. And at that point, he might as well be running the OS natively.
We have machines with atom processors and 2GB ram running 7 Professional and it runs alright.
Granted they don't do much more than work on web applications in IE and chrome but they do the job just fine.
If these legacy application require IE because of ActiveX or some silly plugin stick with windows. This is the reason these atom boxes are staying on windows.

It's a Celeron D 315 (2.25 ghz) with one gig of RAM. Junk. A lean, mean, one-webpage-at-a-time-please machine. VMs are out of the question.
I mainly wanted linux so the no brains "IT techs" he calls whenever I'm not around at the exact time shit goes wrong stop messing with it (last one installed an alternate browser that had facebook integration when he couldn't get an IE shortcut working), and because muh unpatched exploits.

So basically Waterfox is just "we built the Firefox source with 64-bit tools" and no other changes?
I can get behind that.

Chrome, IE and Opera are Memory hungry especially IE.
Firefox uses the lowest memory atm.

You just made me want to try Waterfox. Quickly installed it, and it also moved all of my addons, and cookies from Nightly. Feels really good.
I'll give waterfox a whirl, chrome gobbles RAM when i have loads of tabs open. Enough to make my laptop with 4GB page constantly.
Same reason I made a .bat script named 'KillChrome'.

all completely different for me
ie uses the least
chrome uses the most
and firefox is somewhere in the middle but sometimes does this:

IE is actually awesome, performance-wise.
because it doesn't do anything else worthwhile
[QUOTE=.Lain;44661386]because it doesn't do anything else worthwhile[/QUOTE]
it just doesn't have extensions
IE in W8 is the only browser that's really pleasant to use with a touchscreen.
welp, can already feel the disappointment I'll get when my two 6870's crumbles when I start that up
I almost want to try it on my laptop with Intel HD 4000.
