When I uninstall, the mistakenly installed 32-bit latest firefox, from 64 bit windows 10 machine; its corresponding registry entries are not removed. The paths that I have checked are: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\mozilla.org\Mozilla Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox

Is there anything else that needs to be done?

We just help and that is beyond the scope of here. (I think it should be removed as all programs should remove everything.)

After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one.

I uninstalled the application though control panel and rebooted. Then, ran a registry cleaner and followed its appropriate steps. Then checked the registry entries which were still present. They were even present under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE.

So I rebooted again but still no change in the registry view.
