Firefox is only available as 32-bit for Windows OS's. A 64-bit version hasn't been released.

No that is ok.

Firefox for Windows is a 32 bit browser, although developers do have experimental 64 bit builds available. On Linux and Mac ordinary users may install 64 bit versions.

Crashes and hangs are separate problems. If you have crashes please paste a couple of Crash IDs into your next post.
