What you were told is not true for Linux Lite. Use 64-bit. The operating system is really good with handling memory. It alone won't require much of your memory. Running multiple programs, or a browser with a lot of open tabs, will use more of your memory. If you can, upgrade your RAM above 2GB. But it will work fine with that amount. I always recommend maxing out the allowable memory. It doesn't cost much on eBay, and there are performance benefits. Until you do, consider using the performance tweaks in Lite Tweaks called Preload Apps and zRAM. Lite Tweaks can be found at Menu, Settings, Lite Tweaks.
On Firefox, if you install the 64 bit version of Linux Lite, it will include the 64-bit version of Firefox. And if you have the 64-bit version of Linux Lite, only install programs for 64-bit.
