This article is intended for IT administrators who wish to set up Firefox on the computers within their organization.

On both ESR and rapid release channels we offer Firefox builds for both 32 and 64 bit CPU architecture. We recommend using Firefox 64 bit builds in compatible environments although system administrators should select the CPU architecture that best matches their constraints. In any case, migrating from 32 bit Firefox to 64 bit Firefox should be done after significant QA cycles.

Firefox 32 bit Firefox 64 bit
32 bit OS Supported Not supported

release channel users to 64 bit Firefox)
Higher security (ASLR) No Yes

extensions though)
Citrix XenApp users willing to use 64 bit Firefox, see 64-bit Firefox crashes with Citrix's XenApp VM.
