Selenium Firefox Driver, also called GeckoDriver, is a browser rendering engine developed by Mozilla for many applications. Before proceeding, it’s advisable to learn Selenium with Java for automation. Let’s go through this detailed tutorial with an example of how to run Selenium tests using Firefox WebDriver (also known as the GeckoDriver). One such tool is Selenium which uses Firefox WebDriver to link the test cases with the Firefox browser. It has enhanced features and is supported by many of the latest testing tools and techniques. 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.Mozilla Firefox is one of the most widely used browsers in the world. You can still manually install 64-bit Firefox, if you choose.

If you see “(32-bit)” and are running Firefox 56.0.1 or newer, then your computer may not meet the minimum memory requirement for 64-bit (3 GB RAM or more).

If you see “(32-bit)” and you are running Firefox 56.0 or older, updating to the latest Firefox version should automatically upgrade you to 64-bit.

Check your Firefox version (in the “About Firefox” window) and look for “(32-bit)” or “(64-bit)” after the version number:

If you’re running 64-bit Windows ( here’s how to check), your Firefox may already be 64-bit. Linux and macOS users, fret not, you already enjoy a Firefox that’s optimized for 64-bit. Also, with the jump from 32 to 64 bits, a security feature called Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) works better to protect you from attackers. Here’s the key thing to know: 64-bit applications can access more memory and are less likely to crash than 32-bit applications. What’s the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit? How much less? In our tests so far, 64-bit Firefox reduced crashes by 39% on machines with 4GB of RAM or more. That means you get a more secure version of Firefox, one that also crashes a whole lot less. Users on 64-bit Windows who download Firefox can get our 64-bit version by default.
