I LOVE Firefox and refuse to use anything but...except when I"m on my phone and tablet because I have Blackberry devices. So, please don't tell me you're not planning on a BB version!! BB's may not be the most popular, trendy, hipster thing out there but they aren't going anywhere. It just boggles my mind that because BB isn't "the cool thing" that most of th etime apps don't come with a BB version - come on - BE DIFFERENT FIREFOX...support BB and while you're at it make a 64 bit version too so I can use you at work on my awesome Windows 7 Ultimate 64 set up.. THANKS!!

I'm afraid I don't have encouraging news for you. The last time I saw a specific comment was in this thread about 4 months ago: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1037247#answer-666852

Regarding Windows: you can use the regular release of Firefox (32-bit Firefox) on 64-bit Windows 7. That's what I do.

It's true that a 64-bit build would be able to use more memory, but hopefully you won't need more than 2+ GB of memory for your browsing, which 32-bit Firefox can -- and sometimes does -- use.

There is 64-not for Mac OSX and Linux ever since Firefox 4.0

However as you are likely referring to Win64. The Win64 Beta builds of Firefox 38.0b# are officially supported (were not for 37.0b#) so this means there is good chance there will be Win64 for Firefox 38.0 Release.

Besides the desktop Windows, Mac OSX and Linux and the Firefox OS, the only mobile OS being supported at moment is Android. There is a project to have a browser on iOS but it is not going to be using the Gecko engine.
