"The latest stable release of HTML, HTML5 takes HTML from a simple markup for structuring a document to a full app development platform. HTML5 Audio / Video built into the web browser is known as a "native solution" - doesn't rely upon any external programs being installed and doesn't require any Plugins. HTML5 specs include supportīuilt-in to the web browser for audio / video content, which in the past was handled by Flash, Silverlight, and a few other less well known formats. Web browsers and the internet are moving away from using Plugins for multi-media and audio / video files. I was always told that you had to have plug-ins such as Adobe Flash and java (especially Java) to run movies, games and such. Thanks to anyone that can clear this up for me. I'll be going to work soon and see what happens there to see what our computers update too. If that's the case I need also to find out how to go back to that latest version. I did go to the What's New section where I update and was able to click on a list for all Firefox releases but they only have the recent version that I just downloaded, not the last one I had in case I need to go back to it. If that's the case then maybe all my installs have been 32 bits since I have Flash, Adobe Reader, Java and a few other plug-ins that work with certain systems installed in my computer and so far all those plug-ins work.

Though I read on a Mozilla support page that Only Flash plug-ins and Silverlight plug-ins work with 64-bit. I couldn't find the last version I had to go back to it since I'm worried I may have installed the wrong thing. I don't want things to slow down, especially movies I watch. Have all the updates been 32 bits? Because I read where 32 bits do not hold enough ram. I have a 64-bit operating system (Windows 8.1). Now my updates, that I remember, never said what *bit* it was before. But I updated it anyway and it wasn't until it installed that it said 51.0 (32-bit). I normally update from a different area where I click on a question mark and it takes me right to the update box that said it was up to date, My Avast program said the same thing for up-to-date software. I was on Mozilla plug-in page that said I was using an older version and to update.
