have 32 bit, want 64bit
Been using 32 bit for a long time and noticed I don't have the 64 bit ver of Firefox.
I am concerned I will loose all info when the 64 bit ver. installs to 'Program Files' directory instead of
Program Files (x86).
I have windows 10 64 bit.
Chosen solution
Note that only the Shockwave Flash plugin and Silverlight plugins are enabled for the 64 bit Firefox version. If you need to use other plugins like Java or media players then you need to stay with 32 bit Firefox releases.

Firefox comes in two or more folders on all computers. They are;
Maintenance: (Programs Folder) <Windows Only> Firefox itself: (Programs Folder) And one folder in the profile of each user on the computer.
If you remove the Firefox folder, the user folders would not be affected.

DO NOT remove your profiles. - 3 After, reboot the computer. Then run the full installer.
