User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.15
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.15

Going to Mozilla's main download page for firefox, I can't see any way to download the x86-64 version of Fx4.

I'm browsing on an x64 build, so the suggested download *should* be x64 too, right? But even if I wasn't, there should still be a way to download something other than i686, but it doesn't even seem possible clicking through everything on all systems and languages.

Since I'm running on a 64 bit system and all/most of my plugins are 64bit a lot of things fail to work (wrong ELF Class) when running regular x86, so I think this is more than just a minor gripe.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to mozilla.com/firefox
2. Fail to find firefox x64
3. Go to http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-4.0/
