    For people who are, is there noticeable speed difference?
    Do add-ons work?
    Pretty stable?

    Where do you even get that? Mozilla provides a link for the 32-bit version, where's the 64?

    Yeah, knew that was an issue. But as far as speed and stability, etc. is it pretty good?

    It works the same as the x86 version. There isn't anything special about the x64 version other than lack of plugin support, and that it is a pain in the to compile.
