Title: Avast Software Updater installs 32-bit Firefox when the user uses 64-bit Firefox
Post by: A. User on December 02, 2016, 09:40:22 PM

Hello, just used the update button from an Avast Software Update popup about an update to Firefox. It installed the 32-bit Firefox and replaced 64-bit one i had installed. Someone from the Avast team please fix this.

Hmm, i've already reinstalled the 64-bit version.  :P  Nevermind, i don't really use it. It's here just to stay.  ;D

Hello heikwith,

thank you for the report.

We have checked Software Updater and did not find any bugs in Mozilla Firefox update scenario. Also, there are users who have the same problem without Avast installed, so the problem is rather on Mozilla side.

More details in Mozilla bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1318851

Regards.
