Until today, I was totally unaware that there was a Mozilla browser that was 64 bit.
I do recommend that if you have a 64 bit system and use Firefox, do download Waterfox. It is faster then all the other browsers and is equal in speed of Chrome.
However, Chrome does not have the abilities for add-ons (including a RSS reader) that Waterfox or Firefox has.

OK, a dumb question from a dumb guy - how do I know if I have a 64-bit system?
Never mind - I just answered my own question. I have a 32-bit system.

To lightheartedly disagree with you, after many years as a middle school math teacher, I have found that there IS such a thing as a dumb question.
After repeating an instruction three, sometimes four times, asking a question as if I had never spoken qualifies as a dumb question.
After doing the same activity the exact same way every single day since September, asking me how to do something in March qualifies as a dumb question.
Don't get me wrong, I love my job and I love the kids, but it's amazing how truly clueless they can be sometimes. I kiddingly tell them that for their sake I hope they never move so they don't have to memorize a new address and phone number. A week away on vacation and they'll never be able to find their way home. :lol: :lol:

Here is a web page from Firefox about the 64 Bit version. It is available but they do not recommend it for general every day use by the general public because it is still in the build phase.

The 64 bit is incompatible with many plug-ins and as such an inferior product as the 32 bit. Tried it, walked away.
It's name is: FIrefox 64 palemoon

Please note that the Waterfox browser is based on Firefox GNU license. It is not part of the Firefox family, same as* Firefox 64 Palemoon.
Browsers are built around what is called an engine. Most use MS explorer engine, other Firefox, others... The overlying structure inherits the 'engine' flaws.
Some of the most stable browsers include Opera, Safari (Mac and PC). Some of these are already 64 bit. None offer the customization and security options/ plug-ins Firefox users are used to.
I personally distrust Chrome, any iteration.

* Corrected this, after checking my statement. I was implying that palemoon was part of the Mozilla Firefox.

As I always told my employees, the only dumb question you will ever have is the one that you fail to ask me.

Was their asking the perceived dumb questions the result of Inatentativeness on their part or perhaps was the point of the lesson misdirected.

Dumb questions NEVER have anything to do with the lesson. To answer your question, let me give you a perfect example. Every paper turned in to me since September has to have last name first. Every paper I ask for I continue to remind the students to put their name on the paper last name first. Anyone who at this point in the school year asks, "Mr. S, do you want last name first?"(and believe me, it happens a whole lot) is totally guilty of asking a dumb question.
I welcome any question about the math lesson I give, but "do you want last name first?' is just too dumb to be overlooked. It's to the point now where when certain repetitive questions are asked, the rest of the class groans out loud at the dumb question. Even they recognize it when they hear it. It's all about inattentiveness, believe me.

But perhaps they were looking at the task in a different manner then what you expected them to.
However, I do understand how clueless some people can be. I too have taught younger students (Scouts). Most of my "students" were 18+ and there were some that were like a box of rocks.
By asking questions, they learn. That is your job and was mine. Therefore, there are no stupid questions. No offense!
