The screenshots I provided above, and some of the mentioned URLS were pulled with Chrome 13. Again, here they are: Firefox 5.0.1 Linux x86_64 Thunderbird 5.0 Linux x86_64 Post Script

But for some reason, it was overly difficult to actually find the 64 bit archives. There are lots of good instructions for installation once you have the archives (including the one linked above at that is not actually ubuntu specific). Just to clarify, when I started searching for 64 bit versions, I get the blaringly unsupported Windows binaries, forum posts that talk about the fact that there is no official 64 bit build, and a lot of downloads from places like - which looks a little shady to me. Well, search engines occasionally wander here, so hopefully I can offer a door to 64 bit Mozilla applications for the Linux masses. Buried in a land where search engines apparently never wander. But no real mention of x86_64… wait! There it is, a link to the Mozilla FTP, where 64 bit builds live.Īnd there they are. So, after installing a lot of frivolous i686 libraries on my 64 bit Fedora installation, I was digging around in the Fedora Forums looking for details on some such library, and I stumbled over this. This is not some strange user flow bug either, I can get to the download page through the main site, or any other random and/or redirecting links. Likewise, if I load /thunderbird I get the Thunderbird image above. No magical user-agent masking or magic, either: When I navigate to, the firefox image is what I see. Just to be clear, I am not doing any strange trickery here. Let’s cut to the chase: check out Mozilla’s default offering to 64 bit Linux users: Thunderbird I do not plan to update this, but the ftp is well organized, once you find it._ I’m linking to the latest en-US, non-Beta releases at time of writing. _If you don’t care about how hard it is to find these, and just want to get the archives: X86_64 (64 bit) Thunderbird and Firefox from Mozilla
