Have I got 32&64 or just a duplicate program?

Locked down, or at least write-protected every Firefox (32-bit) element I could find, Ran 64-bit startup, loaded a newcopy of Firefox on a different disk.

They look and feel identical - all the right stuff in the right places.

Have I actually installed 'fox32 and '64 or just a second copy of '64-bit?

If I haven't, how do I get both ala <spit>internet exploder.

<btw> with all the lockdowns in place against 3rd-party invaders, how was a single-question "survey" able to slip by?

You posted here with - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0 - which is the 32-bit version running on a 64-bit operating system.

  • 32-bit versions of Firefox have "WOW64" in the user-agent.
  • 64-bit versions of Firefox have "Win64" in the user-agent.

Note that only the Shockwave Flash plugin and Silverlight plugins are enabled for the 64 bit Firefox version. If you need to use other plugins like Java or media players then you need to stay with 32 bit Firefox release.
