The Firefox installation that you used to post here is the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version is available here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ It's under Windows 64-bit.

And it looks like Earlybird (apparently a Thunderbird pre-Beta version) is only available in 32-bit. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/channel/

Sorry, I don't use Thunderbird myself, and I have no idea if they are even working on a 64-bit version. If so, it may only be available from a server - that would be something to ask about in Thunderbird support.

I was sure I had uninstalled firefox first but it was still listed in my programs along with the 64 bit firefox. I uninstalled both, ran a registry cleaner and rebooted before I reinstalled the 64 bit. The same site I used before. I see an uptick in speed. I though the earlybird was a 64 bit also.

Also, while I'm at it, every time I open firefox, I get "do you want to make this the default application?". I click yes but win 10 won't save it. Maybe win 10 is being difficult with firefox. You've probably heard of this by now. any work arounds?
