Chosen solution

If you have more than 4GB of RAM, it's recommended to use the 64-bit version of Firefox since that can take advantage of the extra RAM, your user agent that auto-generated when you submitted your question shows WOW64 meaning it's 32-bit Firefox running in a 64-bit environment.

You can download the stub installer of Firefox at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=getfirefox-com and click Customize / Options and choose the 64-bit installer.
