64 & 32 bit versions appearing on pc

Firefox Installieren
Me beantwortet

I've noticed that I've got both the 32 bit (../Program Files (86)/..) and 64 bit versions (../Program Files/..) of Firefox installed on my pc. I didn't install both and both appear to be the current version. Is this normal behaviour? Only one instance appears in add/remove programs, but if I go to default apps, Firefox appears twice (presumably the 32 & 64 bit versions). If this is not normal, does anyone have a suggestion as to how to remove the 32 bit version without damaging the 64 bit one?

I see two occurrences of Firefox in the default apps settings, so I don't think that's related.

There should be a folder for the Mozilla Maintenance Service in the Program Files (x86) directory, but I don't have a Firefox or Mozilla folder located there on my 64-bit install. If you do, you may be able to uninstall it by running C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe.

Thanks. That worked .. sort of. It removed some of the 32 but files, but left 642 files and two subfolders behind which I manually deleted.
