64-bit Linux

I've been enjoying 64-bit Linux Firefox 3.7pre nightly builds from Mozilla.org for months, thanks!

I think most Linux distros ship 64-bit Firefox, Thunderbird, and XULRunner packages. The Ubuntu package nspluginwrapper allows me to run Adobe's 32-bit Flash player plug-in

64-bit Linux (Linux Mint 10)

I've also been using Firefox 3.6.* 64-bit that came installed by default with the newest version of Linux Mint (10/"Julia"--derived from Ubuntu 10.10) along with the 64-bit versions of Adobe Flash (Square-64) and Sun-Java. I've also been testing the 64 bit versions of the Firefox 4.0 nightly builds (Minefield) using the same 64-bit plugins mentioned above. No problems seen with Firefox 3.6.* and only minor non-Flash/non-Java problems which would be seen in any pre-launch software. Wondering why the "Firefox/4/Platforms" page still states only 32 bit support for Linux platforms.

Firefox 4 beta for Mac OS X is not Universal Binary

Firefox/4/Platforms says:

Mac OS X

   * 32- and 64-bit builds (universal binary)
   * minimum version: Mac OS X 10.5
   * CPU architecture: i386, x86-64 

However, if it only runs on Intel CPUs as indicated then it is NOT universal binary! The download page for Firefox 4 beta should not be using the universal binary icon as this leads people to believe that it will run on PPC machines, which is not the case. In fact, the main beta page [1] ought to be able to tell that I'm running a PPC Mac [Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13] and tell me not to bother instead of showing the download button...
