For the best stability, and as Firefox can be build natively 64bits on other OS.
Mozilla should provide a real native 64bits build for windows.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a 64 bits windows OS
2. Go to mozilla.com download
3. Choose a product to download
4 .You get a 32bits only product
Actual Results:  
32bits software on 64bits OS

Expected Results:  
Native 64 bits software on 64 bits OS

Windows 7 & new computers would come more & more 64 bits ( especially in professionnal world )
Offering a real native 64 bits browser to this people give the fact that Mozilla software are really multi-OS (they are, but only visible in the free world:-)

Thanks for pointing the meta but ( It doesn't appear if you select a product (firefox and launch a search Windows 64bits build ).

I hope that not only firefox would be present, but all the Mozilla stack thunderbird and sunbird included .
