The latest version [firefox-36.0a1.en-US.win64-x86_64.installer.exe] does not allow Adobe Flash to update as the 'install now' button is not displayed in this version. I have run across errors like this before in the 32 bit version but will only use 64 bit versions as the 32 bit versions are too slow. So what happens is that I am often forced to use Google Chrome which is not as flexible and not as usable to me. Thank you, /* Philip */

Chosen solution

Checkins happens almost everyday on the Nightly and Aurora development channels and therefore there is a update each of those days. Sometimes there is the odd respin build. If you miss a update there may be a full patch vs partial. These are meant more for Testers and devs and not for regular users.

As for Win64 the earliest there will be a supported Release is Firefox 37.0 in first phase. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/win64
