I need to know whether I am running 32 or 64 bit Firefox, how?
I am looking at programs that support 32 bit, not 64 in Firefox but cannot find what I am using.

Hello,
If you downloaded Firefox from the official Mozilla website:
Firefox will be 32-bit. A 64 bit version of Firefox is planned for the future:
- https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/win64
- Note: All other 64-bit Firefox versions (other than Nightly and Aurora) are unofficial builds and not maintained or supported by Mozilla
For future reference, in 64-bit Windows, an easy way to find out whether an application is 64 or 32-bit to check the installation folder:
- (all 32-bit applications will be here:) C:\Program Files (x86)\
- (all 64-bit applications will be here:) C:\Program Files\
However, if you are using a 32-bit version of Windows, you will not be able to run 64-bit applications at all, and when you look in your C:\ folder you will only see:
- C:\Program Files\

Thank you for the fast response
The earliest Release there may be a Win64 Firefox from Mozilla.org is Firefox 37.0 in first phase. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/win64
It appears based on your useragent that you have 32-bit Windows XP.
32-bit Firefox on 64-bit Windows have WOW64 in the useragent to show it is a 32-bit application on 64-bit Windows.
