Confusion: two 32-bit installation on the download page programs

Hello:

I need to know how to proceed * IF * I inadvertently installed 32-bit v50 ' XP/Vista' version on my Win7 and Win10 systems. Reference: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3025405

Back story:

Today ' today - on my third, backup, Win7 Office - I noticed two different options of 32 bits here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ the column headings are very blurred (see screenshot). But I finally found the two 32-bit installers is the correct version for 7/8/8.1/10 to install on * this * rig.

~ 2 days ago, however, when I updated my other two systems (Win7 and Win10), I do not notice that new, third option, or maybe, it wasn't there. Can I have inadvertently installed version ' XP/Vista' on a Win7 box and an area of Win10.

I'll come back on those computers later and will try to check.

Until I do, here are my questions:

(1) how can I know if installed the correct 32-bit version of Fx 50 on my other 2 boxes yesterday - the version for Win7 and more?

(2) if installed the one bad (the XP/Vista version), I have to:-my backup profile and install the correct version on top of the existing v50 build? -my backup profile, Fx to uninstall and reinstall the correct version? -do nothing, if it is not working properly? -do something else?

Thank you!

Same version of Firefox is delivered by two hyperlinks if you use Win7 or greater (or Vista with compatibility SHA2 Microsoft Update).

The link of the left hand for XP/Vista bypasses the XP/Vista limited to SHA1 support.

If you are using XP/Vista and select the link to the right, you would get Firefox 43.0.1 instead of the current version, and then you need to update Firefox manually. or wait until the automatic updater has done the update for you the latest version.
