I have just read that you will not support 64 bit win 7 O/s so why am I being offered it twice now to be honest. you are correct this M/C is 32 bit but not my other one which is 64 bit

Chosen solution

Firefox Nightly it is not in the Release channel (Release channel: This is the standard version where the majority of users, including you are. It's fully tested and stable).

Nightly channel: is the most unstable and buggy one. It's where all the tests are performed.

so you can not see it in your update options.


thanks again
