Hi, if i install Firefox X64 and Firefox 32Bits and Thunderbird... Does the 'Mozilla Maintenance Service' run for all of these softwares or does it install itself multiple times?

Chosen solution

There should only be one 'Mozilla Maintenance Service' and that is the version that comes with the most recently updated Mozilla application that uses this service. That MMS version is compatible with older Firefox and Thunderbird releases. I assume that you will get the version that comes with the 64-bit Firefox release.

So, there is only one MMS. Whatever Mozilla software i have? What is the name of the service in task manager>services?

I'm not on Windows, so I can't check how this service shows if services will show at all in the Windows Task Manager.

It is probably showing for a very short time and might be difficult to catch.
