Firefox 42.0 glib dependency 1.22 or more is confusing bacause libglib (64) is currently 2.0 and 32-bit is currently 2.41. Which one should I use?

Slackware64, running current system.

41.0 Firefox currently, eager to install firefox 42.0.

I am looking for internet for dependency libraries to install as follows:
Download libraries as .rpm
convert to .tgz
make a soft package,
install with installpkg.

a disappointment: go to the download page, and it said I seem to be running an old version of Firefox and offers a download button.
It does not say which version it has detected, I had, nor it does not say what architecture it detected, nor the ability to change the target to download if I download on another machine. Just a download button green big without telling me what version or the new firefox cpu I download is for. Can they make it worse? I need to know if they are shoving me a 32 or 64 bit program and what architecture they detected until I push the download button.

Firefox won't work at all without the following libraries or packages:

       GTK+ 2.18 or higher
       GLib 2.22 or higher
       Pango 1.14 or higher
       X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
       libstdc++ 4.3 or higher

For optimal functionality, we recommend that libraries or the following packages:

       NetworkManager 0.7 or higher
       DBus 1.0 or higher
       HAL 0.5.8 or higher
       GNOME 2.16 or higher

Rather then clicking the Green download on mozilla.org button go to the systems & languages link below because it lists both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux builds in all locales.

The GLib requirement has not changed, so if you use 42.0 Firefox 64-bit www.mozilla.org/firefox/all so it should work the same as the 64-bit Fx 41.0.x.

A heads for the next version of 43.0 Firefox, Linux users will have GTK 3.4 or more 2.18 + was minimal until til 42.0 Fx.
