    remember the 32 to 64 bit transition 15-20 years ago, respect for people still running PCs that old

      Even FreeBSD is dropping support for 32-bit toasters.

    Good. Honestly it’s staggering they’ve supported it for this long. It’s hard to envisage such an old system browsing the web using Firefox, the modern web is so bloated that any 32-bit system will seriously struggle.

    It’s much better to have that developer/testing effort spent elsewhere. Mozilla doesn’t exactly have the infinite resources that Google has.

    64 bit desktop processors have existed for longer than I’ve had kids. Valve killing 32 bit support, as well as Mozilla is a nothing story.
