How do I update to a 64 from a 12?
I am trying to print some legal documents; and 'error' message says I need to update Mozilla to provide a 64-bit connection instead of the 12-bit at present. How and where can I find the download? Today!

jscher2000: Thank you for your response. The precise window message says:
The program or feature “\??\C”\Program Files (x86\ Google\Google Desktop
Search\pdftotext.exe” cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit
Versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit
Windows compatible version is available.
I admit that maybe I just do not know what this means. Your assistance is deeply appreciated.
Thank you for any suggestions.

For Windows, there is only a 32-bit version of Firefox. This refers to the way Windows runs the program and what plugins are compatible, and not how it connects to websites.
Could you give us more information on the error? For example, are you trying to print a PDF displayed in the browser, or using another plugin?
A screen shot (blur out the personal/confidential parts) might help. This article has some tips on that: How do I create a screenshot of my problem?
Also, in case you are seeing a phishing or malware teaser, be skeptical of any software offered to solve this "problem."

Hi Drew, judging from the location and name of that file, it seems to be a Google add-on that is not starting correctly. Could you check your extensions list and disable the Google ones and then restart Firefox and test again?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Also, check for and disable Google plugins here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any improvement?
