Use 32bit Java. Maybe ask yourself do you even need Java ? If you do you may need to remove older versions

Firefox is normally a 32bit browser on Windows regardless of whether you use 32bit or 64bit Windows.

You appear to be using 32 bit Windows XP

 User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0

There are 64 bit versions of Firefox for Windows available, but intended for developers etc. at the moment. Windows Firefox 64 bit should be released later this year.
