I just recently installed Windows 7 and had to reload FF V18.0, Origin and then download BF3. I tried to launch the game through Origin as all who play BF3 knows that Origin launches your web browser "Nightly" and an error came up saying failed due to Nightly running in 64 bit mode. Can Nightly be changed to run in 32 bit? Or will this create issues in other Nightly operations.

I admit I do not know anything about gaming on Firefox. Firefox on Windows is usually 32 bit. Its easy to obtain download and install Firefox 32 bit or Nightly 32 bit for Windows.

Normally users have only one version of Firefox installed. Developers and those testing Firefox versions may have multiple installs, in which case almost always multiple profiles will be created for Firefox. Each version needs at least one unique profile of its own or you are likely to see problems.

If you use Firefox as a default browser, besides for gaming you may need to take a bit of care in using Nightly, and remember that your profile is important.

CARE ! please do NOT use any option to remove personal information, because that is likely to destroy passwords and bookmarks for all installed versions.
Also unless you know exactly what you are doing only use an empty folder for a new profile, and it is best not to delete or even rename a profile that you have created (just remove links instead).
