Why ist there still no 5.0a2 x64 windows version for download?
Even the 4.0 x64 windews version was imho stable enough for a release. But the x64 version was planned for 5.0. But where ist the test version? The 6.0 version is not stable enough to use so I'm back on 4.0pre13.

I don't think Mozilla have yet decided when the 64 bit version for Windows will be released. I doubt if it will be for Firefox 5.
Currently Mozilla are only creating nightly build 64 bit versions, these are normally updated daily, you can get the latest version from http://nightly.mozilla.org/ but be aware that nightly builds can be unstable.
That blog appears to be out of date. There are quite a few outstanding bugs that need to be fixed before a 64 bit Windows version is released, and with the tight schedule they have got for releasing Firefox 5 I do not think they will be able to fix them before Firefox 5 is released.
Alright Firefox Users,
As I'm typing this to y'all, I'm chatting with a LIVE Mozilla Firefox Support agent online in regards to the x64.
This particular agent advised as of the Firefox 3.0 edition, the 64bit version was available to be downloaded for use. I have spent the last 1.5hrs trying to get this strighten out as they claim that the 64bits are released but I have proved to him, NO WHERE on this site does it claim there has been a 64bit release.
I have also sited the two different links Firefox 5.0 to have 64-bit Version for Windows in 2011 and also Why is't there still no 5.0a2 x64 windows version for download? where clearly states there is nothing.
Fortunately for us, Mozilla has decided to make a higher version called Nightly 8.0 which DOES NOT have any of the add-on that you might be looking for, but to be honest, this version of browser is honestly ONE OF THE BEST I've ever used despite the lack of add-on available. I believe this would definitely make your browser perform a bit better, and if you have some patience with Firefox/Nightly, they'll eventually come out with add-on bit by bit.
In my final saying, I hope you guys encourage the techs you correspond with, have done all their research before you disconnect with them as it could be really difficult to wait for them to come back online from whatever they're doing. So before you beg and plea for more x64 stuff, try the Firefox Nightly Builds - These builds are for testing purposes only
