Keep 32-bit firefox active

Making moves

I found out after firefox v144, mozilla doesn't want to support 32-bit systems and that they recommend firefox v140 ESR which they say they'll maintain until September 2026.

Some people like myself still use 32-bit computers and there's not many options for web browsers, especially with some linux setups.  Firefox doesn't need a special setup like other web browsers do.

Mozilla should support 32-bit computers until at least the year 2106 (or at least until 2037).

2037 is officially when clocks on 32-bit systems are supposed to roll back to the year 1970, and with some patched operating systems, one could configure their system to make it so the year can go up to 2106 without it being rolled back. I think its due to the fact such systems take the signed bit away from the raw time.

Another reason more 32-bit support should occur is because some people with 32-bit computers that can't afford or choose not to upgrade shouldn't feel they need to pile up the landfill with old computers and try to take out a loan for a new computer JUST to browse the web.
