Firefox is (Finally) Ending Support for 32 bit Linux

Mozilla is FINALLY pulling the plug on 32-bit Firefox builds for Linux, a decade after Google Chrome did the same. Why now? It says they're getting hard to build.

    Does that mean a smaller binary somehow? Less code? Eventually maybe?

      It could mean faster development if they can spend that time on other things

      It just means they won’t test 32 bit versions for bugs. The impact on binary size will be non-negligible.
