It seems that I have to build my own 64-bit Firefox for Linux, as Mozilla won't support it until Firefox 4. Why is this? It looks to me as though it works fine, although without some of the speed improvements to the Javascript engine which the 32-bit version gets. (Edit: Yes I could run the 32-bit version but I'm trying to keep my system clear of 32-bit cruft and libraries etc, and all the plug-ins worked fine in 3.0.11 64-bit unofficial builds.)

It's just the choice of your upstream packager - the linux distro. OpenSUSE provides 64-bit builds for Mozilla Firefox. | |||

Builds of Firefox straight from Mozilla really only matter for Windows, and such, with no centralized repository of software. For us Linux folks, most of the work is done by our trust package managers, as is the case for Firefox as well. Arch Linux provides a 64-bit build, Ubuntu does, et cetera. Just check your repo! | |||

I assumed the browser on my laptop (running 64-bit install of Ubuntu 9.04) was a 64-bit version, is that not the case? From the 'About Firefox' pop-up:
