but it's good to my computer 32 bit?
Even my cpu is 64 bit and memorey is 2GB RAM?
From the information you have posted, the copy of Mint you are using is 32 bit, whether or not your CPU is 64 bit. Therefore, you will need to use 32 bit software. The memory is irrelevant in this case. If you want to use 64 bit software, you will need to install a 64 bit version of Mint.

What to Choose?
Please reread the instructions I gave you. You uninstall Firefox using Synaptic. Then you install the version you want to try using the link I gave you.
As a suggestion, if you have difficulty understanding what to do here and the concepts involved and need additional help that what I or others can give on this forum, please consider obtaining assistance from a Linux Users group in your area or a computer repair shop in your area that also specializes in Linux.

When should I install software of linux os of 64 bit?
If your hardware is 64bit, you can install either a 32bit or 64 bit operating system and either should work.
If your hardware were 32bit and you installed 64 bit software it wouldn't work. If you installed a 64bit operating system now it would overwrite the current operating system and all the data on it. Since your problem seems to be limited to watching some videos through firefox, installing a 64bit system seems like overkill and I'm not really sure a 64bit system would help, maybe?
You should be able to do this by uninstalling Firefox 42 in your package manager and then download and install Firefox 31 from here. Make sure to choose the appropriate architecture for your system, either 32 bit (i386) or 64 bit (AMD64.) Once the package finishes downloading, just double click to install it. Please report back if you get any error messages.
However, one important point: When you bring up version 31 for the first time, you have to immediately go to into preferences and uncheck the "automatically download newest version" box. Otherwise, you might have version 42 again before you know it. Please see the instructions (by "user301922") in detail here.
I checked the Firefox version I was using on yesterday's test and it was actually version 38, however, you're welcome to try any version that you like.
As another idea, you might also be able to correct this problem by going to a more lightweight distribution of Linux such as Lubuntu, Zorin OS 9 Lite or AntiX.

It worked, http://up415.siz.co.il/up2/yjq0fnzggmgx.png
but it's not solve the problem of the lags so
I should probably install an operating system lighter weight
so if i'll install linux lubunu but with desktop of kde, Is it right for me?
It is more difficult to work with os thet based in debian like linux AntiX? from than to work with os thet based in ubuntu?

Hi...
No, using the KDE desktop environment will defeat the purpose of using a lightweight distribution. It would be best to stick with LXDE if you want to use Lubuntu.
They're both based on Debian (AntiX on "Debian Testing") but you would need to try it to see if it's easier for you or not.

But it will not be difficult for me to use in linux os that based on Debian, from than
to use in any linux os that based in ubuntu?
That seems to me there is a big difference between ubuntu to Debian.
"there is a difference between Debian and Ubuntu. Ubuntu is based on Debian but a lot of changes have been made." http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post5452043
what the Official website address of linux Antix os? please.
I am in no way trying to sound rude but that's the limit of how far I'm willing to go with this. Some things, such as this, you can take care of yourself. Simply go to Google and research this information. Please keep in mind this is not a helpdesk, folks are expected to do their fair share of the work with the help they receive. Please see here.
