If you need to run 32-bit Firefox or manually install 64-bit Firefox, you can simply download and re-run the Windows (32-bit or 64-bit) Firefox installer from the Firefox platforms and languages download page.Protection against malicious downloads was added in Firefox 31 on Windows and in Firefox 39 on Mac and Linux.
