Just answer a simply question for me! Is the latest release of FF a 64-bit system? Flash has issues w/64bit; needs 32bit browser. I've had to uninstall. No where do I find the answer

Been using FF for many years. Then, it wouldn't work with 64bit systems. IE sucked too, but I had to use it. So, just got off IE and back to FF.

I was having Flash issues. Uninstalled it only to find out that it will not operate on a 64bit browser, but I can install a beta version of Flash, essentially. But, find no clear statement saying that FF is 64bit but will support 32bit. Even so, Flash will not operate as it should on FF.

Can I install the beta version of FLASH because FF is a full 64bit system?

Firefox for Windows is 32 bit.

Flash works perfectly with my Win 7x64 and Fx4.01 which is 32 bit, as TonyE says. There is no public release of 64 bit Firefox.

The last I heard Flash would not work with the public release of 64 bit IE.

Thanks. I thought FF was a 64-bit system. I'll reinstall FLASH and see if I can solve the problem. Since posting the issue I've been through my system with a fine toothed comb cleaning, reinstalling things and making room. Maybe all the work will pay off and FLASH will install without a problem. Thanks guys.
