The majority of the websites I try to open give me a pop up saying I need to open them in "32 Bit Mode". When I go to the applications, then Firefox, I don't have the option of 32 bit mode there. Do I have to download it? My dad has it on his computer, he has Firefox 8, same as me.

See http://www.phil.im/2011/03/27/how-to-start-firefox-4-in-32-bit-mode/ - the steps are the same with Firefox 8

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode.
