Switching from 32bit to 64 bit, what happens to bookmarks
I have recently discovered an issue with an online software I use extensively when using the 32bit version of Firefox.
It was recommended to me that I switch to 64bit in order to resolve.
My question is, what happens to all my many bookmarks and saved passwords when I switch to 64bit from 32bit?
Thanks.

The article on this was updated recently with a warning to Microsoft Office users about a problem that can occur opening links in Office if you uninstall 32-bit Firefox before choosing a different default browser.
If you don't use Office, then never mind. But if you do: How to switch from 32-bit to 64-bit Firefox.
And it never hurts to make a backup if you are concerned: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.

Shouldn't be an issue.
Uninstall the 32-bit version and then install the 64-bit version. The new installation will "find" and use the existing Profile which contains all your Firefox user data. Those data files work equally fine with both 32-bit and 64-bit Firefox AND the 64-bit operating system.
What about the rest of your data? history, settings . . . . .
Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?
