I'm using firefox 3.6 for x86_64 -- the file it actually runs is /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/firefox. I tried the upgrade, but the default load page only has the 32-bit version.

The trouble is, it does not run movies, claiming I have the wrong flash plugin; but the one it suggests is the older 32-bit version. So the bottom line is, where can I get a native 64-bit version of firefox-10, so I can keep using the existing plugins?

Only Firefox nightly is 64-bit, BUT for testing purposes ONLY, because nightly channel is the most unstable and buggy one.

10.0.x is only 32-bit see Firefox 10.0.1 System Requirements

thank you

So it seems that the answer is NO, for the time being at least. :-(

I hope that the 64-bit version of Firefox 10 will be ready before Firefox 3.6 is deprecated..
