Firefox and Chrome freeze in Win7

[warlun]

When I run Firefox/ Chrome for about 10mins in 32bit Win7, the system freezes... does this happen to anyone else? or do you guys just use IE8?

No freezes here with Firefox on 64 bit Windows 7 and unibody Macbook.

I've had Win7 64-bit freeze just navigating Windows Explorer (2.16 MB/1 core/1.5GB/40GB Fusion VM)

Chrome will not load pages for me in Win7 x64. Firefox works without any problem though.

Chrome is currently not supported on 64 bit. There's a workaround you can use though that involves adding a switch to the command line arguments. Can't remember offhand what it was.

Gizmodo has said command line switch posted. Anyone who needs it just has to click the link.

One thing though: If the program is compiled for x86, wouldn't it just run as a 32bit app in a 64bit environment? Confused as to why it won't work.
