What's the plan for eligible people that still want to keep 32-bit
Firefox? Are they going to have to stop auto upgrades, which would get
them automatically on 64-bits and upgrade manually? This is especially
going to be a problem for users with less than 2GB RAM that do still
want 32-bit Firefox if we decide against the minimum memory requirement.
Other than end users, I can imagine it being a problem for developers or
QA at some point.

Also, what about beta, developer edition and nightly?
