Hi,

The appearance should be no different to the current 32-bit version. While you should be able to use Adblock Plus with the 64-bit version, you will need to install the 64-bit version of Flash. Also, other plugins such as Java are not supported. For this reason, unless you have a specific reason to use 64-bit Firefox, I'd recommend keeping with the standard 32-bit version for now.

Hope this helps!
