Are you sure that your problem is because of your 64-bit architecture?
A number of Thunderbird extensions aren't available for Thunderbird 3
yet (as it's still in beta). The version of Provider on the Mozilla
Add-ons site is 0.5 and that doesn't work with Thunderbird 3.

The version of Provider that I have is 0.6pre. I suspect it's a
nightly build and that I got it from somewhere under:

  ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/nightly/

It seems to be working fine with my Google Calendars.
