My OS is Win 7 Home Premium 64bit, but the Firefox browser is 32bit. Should I be using a 64bit browser?

I want to install Java, so I want to make sure that I have the right/best browser(s) for my operating system. My Firefox browser is version 33.1, which is 32bit.

Mozilla hasn't released a 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows OS. A 64-bit version is planned for Firefox 37.

I dont think Firefox has a 64 bit version but for other programs:

It is Suggested that you use the 64 bit version on your computer although any program may work many times will work perfectly either way.

So if you are looking for the best/right program for your operating system download the 64 bit version. If it works at the 32 bit version and you dont want to deal with re-downloading then go ahead and keep it.
