What might I lose in performance and features if I decide to switch from the 64-Bit FireFox to the 32-bit version?
Is it easy enough to go back to the 32-Bit of FF without any 'nightmare' install problems? Would the 32-Bit version be more 'memory friendly' than the 64-Bit version?
I have a Nov 2010 desktop system with 8GB of memory with Windows 7 Pro SP1.

This means bad install. What you should do is back bookmarks and uninstall FF 32bit and FF 64bit as it will install two different version into two different locations. And then reinstall FF 64bit and that should fix your problem. And copy back the bookmarks into the new location.
The post seems to say only 64-bit (Win64) version is installed and was asking if maybe the 32-bit would be better to use.

If you have 8GB of memory, you should stay on the 64bit version. It's faster, more secure, and crashes less.
What issues are you seeing with the 64bit version of Firefox?

Just that the 64-Bit Quantum became more memory-intensive, but part of that is at my end with 673 Tabs in this browser window and 6 other browser windows going.
(Should be a lot better when someday I'll prune some 300-to-400 Tabs, eh?) (Grin)
I'll stay with the 64-Bit version for now.
