It’s important that Firefox is configured correctly for virtualization by disabling specific features. Before embarking on sequencing Firefox, please refer to this companion article - Prepare Mozilla Firefox for Enterprise Deployment and Virtualization - which covers configuring a Firefox installation for virtualizing.

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.It’s a simple task to virtualize Firefox, as it lends itself well to application virtualization however getting it right takes a little preparation. You can still manually install 64-bit Firefox, if you choose.

Users on 64-bit Windows who download Firefox can get our 64-bit version by default.
