Now that I'm running 64-bit Linux, the one problem I was bumping against was getting updates for Firefox. They've got their new schedule of releasing frequently. Some distros aren't keeping up - and probably for good reason, if they care about stability.
It was easy to find the nightly builds. That's actually pretty slick, with a new update coming through each day automatically. Well, it's slick unless you use your machine for work, in which case you don't want things to break. Oh, also, many of your extensions won't work. Not really what I'm after.
For some reason, Mozilla only provides 32-bit Linux builds on their download page. It will show a 32-bit download link even if your OS is 64-bit. After much searching, I found the 64-bit downloads:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
{This is probably something that everyone else already knows. I didn't. This way I can find it in the future.}
