I run FF ESR as a backup so I suppose I won't have to worry about this until next year when support for v52 of ESR ends 26 June 2018.

Most likely reason is for backwards compatibility with some sort of legacy component/plugin.

Why would anyone on a 64 bit machine be using 32 bit software, anyway?
