I'm curious about the response below: We have 64-bit Windows 7, and a
number of users whose Firefox seems to lock up periodically during usual
business functions like our web-based software (payroll and various
other websites required for their positions). FF is usually eating
upwards of 700MB of memory on a 6-8GB RAM Core i5 machine, and they are
definitely not doing 3D or games. I've been contemplating switching
them to 64-bit FF when I move to the 45esr package, but it sounds like
their experience won't be mitigated by 64-bit addressing?

You can switch between them. You cannot run them both at the same time
with the same profile.
I want to understand why this is important to you. The advantages of
the 64-bit version are marginal unless you're running out of address
space, which is only likely to happen to a very small subset of users
who are running very advanced games or 3D webapps like CAD programs in
their browser. I'd recommend sticking to the 32-bit version by default
unless there's a clear reason you need to switch to 64-bit. On
low-memory computers with less than 2-3G of RAM, a 32-bit build is
likely to use less memory and be faster.
