What's the plan for eligible people that still want to keep 32-bit Firefox? Are they going to have to stop auto upgrades, which would get them automatically on 64-bits and upgrade manually? This is especially going to be a problem for users with less than 2GB RAM that do still want 32-bit Firefox if we decide against the minimum memory requirement. Other than end users, I can imagine it being a problem for developers or QA at some point. Also, what about beta, developer edition and nightly?
