Please note that while the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7 can be used to run Firefox 9, only 32-bit builds of Firefox 9 are supported at this time. (see "System requirements" http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/system-requirements/ )

Hi,

If 32-bit Firefox was installed, it will be always listed as such. If both 32-bit and 64-bit were installed, please make sure to start the correct one. Usually the 32-bit would be installed in Computer > ?:\Program Files (x86) > Mozilla Firefox, and the 64-bit in Computer > ?:\Program Files. You can also type about: in the location bar and look in Build identifier:
