Users are eligible for a 64-bit default if they are running 64-bit Windows 7+ and have strictly more than 2 GB RAM (so 3 GB is effectively the minimum memory requirement). For users with less than 4 GB of physical memory, there is a trade-off between the larger virtual address space and the overhead of 64-bit code. 2 GB RAM is Microsoft's minimum memory requirement for [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10737/windows-7-system-requirements Windows 7] and [https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/windows-10-specifications#sysreqs 10].

= Schedule =
Which Firefox versions will be migrated to 64-bit?
* 32-bit Firefox <= 55.0.3 will be updated to 32-bit 56.0, a watershed release for all users on all platforms.
* 32-bit Firefox 56.0 will be migrated to the latest 64-bit release (currently 56.0.2). Only users running ''exactly'' 56.0 are eligible for migration.
* 32-bit Firefox >= 56.0.1 will be updated to the latest 32-bit release (currently 56.0.2), but will ''not'' be migrated. If you were migrated to 64-bit but want 32-bit, you can install 32-bit 56.0.1 or later and not be re-migrated.
