Firefox is laggy

I am using Firefox on Windows laptop. First thing I noticed on Mozilla website is that option to download 64 bit version of Firefox is nowhere available, which used to work fine for me. The 32-bit Firefox, on the other hand, lags so much. Problems occurs on websites like Facebook, YouTube, etc. It does not load the webpages smoothly. What can I do to fix this?

The Win64 Firefox Releases is still there just that it takes a extra step to find link if you do not know it. Just click the Download on www.mozilla.org then cancel download while on next page and then scroll down to see a link which leads to www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

The 32-bit version works fine on 64-bit Windows as 64-bit (Win64) Firefox is not something that works so much better on 64-bit Windows.

Hello, see also : How to switch from 32-bit to 64-bit Firefox

Note also , that the windows 64-bit Firefox only has 64-bit Flash Player and Silverlight Plugins. If you want to use other Plugins with Firefox on Windows, you need to stay with the 32-bit Firefox and 32-bit Plugins. :-)

thank you

Thanks for the replies. I have installed 64-bit Firefox and it's working fine. Yes, I am using 64-bit flash player plugin. Thank you all. :-) But, I am still wondering that (1) why 32-bit Firefox does not work properly on my system? (2) Why does Mozilla not provide the link for 32-bit and 64-bit Firefox download on the same page? I mean why an extra step for 64-bit version. First download 32-bit version, then cancel it and then scroll to the bottom of the page to find link for "Firefox for Other Platforms & Languages" which is not even in bold letters! It doesn't feel logical. I am just curious.
