Firefox 64-bit development quietly ended for Windows

This article at Techspot has me sad.

Mozilla's reasons to end 64-bit flavors of Firefox are numerous: limited plug-in availability, more frequent hang-ups and performance issues, stability problems due in part to a niche user/developer base, difficulty distinguishing between 32-bit and 64-bit bug reports and a general feeling that 64-bit users are second-class.

All major OS's are 64-bit and most computers you buy now don't even come with a 32-bit OS option.  Not sure where they are getting their information but if they are following the Google lead then Firefox may never be native 64-bit
