Only 1.7% of all Firefox users using Windows use the 64-bit version of the browser, while the rest of the users prefer the 32-bit version of the Fire Fox. 32-bit copies of Firefox run on 32-bit and 64-bit builds of Windows. In turn, 64-bit can only work on Win64.
What version of Firefox do you have?
There are several ways to find out what version of Firefox is installed on your system.
Method 1: the applet "Programs and Features"
You need to go to the panel windows Management, section "Programs" and find in the list installed applications Mozilla Firefox To do this, click the "Start" button, then in the right half, click on the "Control Panel" link.
In the new window we find "Programs" -\u003e "Uninstall programs."
This will bring you to the “Programs and Features” applet. In the list of installed programs find entries related to Mozilla Firefox
The capacity will be indicated in brackets next to the name established program - (x86 ru) or (x64 ru). Here you can get a little confused, because if everything is clear with x64, then what is x86, some users may not know. Although this topic is worthy of an entire article, we will not talk about it now, but simply explain that x86 is the 32-bit version of the browser.
Method 2: "Task Manager"
Launch the Firefox browser if it is not already running. Now, by simultaneously pressing the buttons Ctrl + Alt + Del, call the Task Manager, where in the Processes tab you can see which version you have installed:
Method 3: "User agent"
IN address bar Mozilla browser type “about: support” and press Enter. The page will reload.
In the Application Details section, find the User agent and view the information in brackets:
It can mean one of the following options:
- “Win64; x64 ": 64-bit Firefox;
- “WOW64”: 32-bit Firefox on 64-bit Windows;
- (none of the above): you are using 32-bit Windows and 64-bit Firefox will not work on it
Which version of Firefox is better?
This topic is fully disclosed in the article: “Comparison of performance and memory consumption in browsers”, which you can read on our website. For those who do not have time to study such a long text, we copy the conclusion we came to in that article:
In Firefox and browsers based on it (such as Pale Moon), for now, it will be wiser to stay on the 32-bit version, since switching to 64 bits leads to significantly more aggressive RAM consumption, without bringing a significant performance improvement.
How to switch to 64-bit Firefox?
The good news is that upgrading Firefox from 32-bit to 64-bit is very easy. All that is usually required is to download a special 64-bit version of the installer from the official Mozilla website and run it.
At the time of this writing, a network installer is proposed for Windows x86 (i.e., it will download the Firefox distribution from the network upon startup), and for x64 it is a classic installer that already contains the program itself and does not require an Internet connection.
All your shortcuts, profiles, bookmarks, extensions and so on will continue to work in Firefox of a different bit depth.
Note: The 32-bit version is not automatically uninstalled. We suggest that while you are testing the 64-bit version of the program, the 32-bit version should not be deleted. And after you decide which browser build you will work with, delete the unnecessary one.
However, before downloading a 64-bit copy of Mozilla Firefox, you should make sure that the operating system can work with it. Recall again: the 32-bit edition of the browser will work on both Win x86 and Win x64, but version 64 only supports Win x64.
In order to know the bit depth operating system, open the Start menu, on the right side find “Computer”. In the window that appears, click on the "System Properties" button:
