My home dialup connection uses Windows 7 Pro and Firefox 64 bit. (no fast internet in my rural location)

Given these factors, does it make any difference whether I use FF 32-bit or 64-bit; i.e., could this affect my on-line surfing efficency or speed in any significant way?

Note the Win64 Firefox only allows 64-bit Flash Player and Silverlight Plugins to run as other 64-bit NPAPI Plugins such as the 64-bit Java plugin will not work.

Shouldn't make a difference.
