I just ran my FF and here's what it says in Help->About:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.2)
Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

I think with SeaMonkey version 2.0+ and FF 3.5+, they integrated the
64-bit builds into the main release, so you get what your CPU needs.
Just guessing, but there it is.

OOo also recently incorporated proper 64-bit builds that work (as of
3.1, I think - I had problems with earlier 64-bit "builds").

64-bit builds are catching on, finally, with the advent of cheap
64-bit CPUs (like mine - the quad-core Athlon II X4 - $95 retail).
All AMD Athlon IIs and the whole line of Intel multi-core CPUs is
making 64-bit more commonplace, especially in business.
