+Building Firefox 32-bit On Linux 64-bit
+=======================================
+
+.. note::
+
+ Unless you really want to target older hardware, you probably
+ want to :ref:`Build Firefox 64-bit <Building Firefox On Linux>`
+ since it is better-supported.
+
+Before following these 32-bit-Firefox-specific instructions, follow
+the :ref:`Building Firefox On Linux` instructions to ensure that
+your machine can do a normal build.
+
+Instructions for Ubuntu 19.10
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These steps were verified to work as of June 2020.
+
+#. Run ``rustup target install i686-unknown-linux-gnu`` to install the
+ 32-bit Rust target.
+#. Install 32-bit dependencies with the following command (this shouldn't try to
+ remove packages. If this is the case, those instructions won't work as-is):
+
+ .. code::
+
+ sudo apt install gcc-multilib g++-multilib libdbus-glib-1-dev:i386 \
+ libgtk2.0-dev:i386 libgtk-3-dev:i386 libpango1.0-dev:i386 libxt-dev:i386 \
+ libx11-xcb-dev:i386 libpulse-dev:i386 libdrm-dev:i386
+
+#. Then, create a ``mozconfig`` file in your Firefox code directory
+ (probably ``mozilla-unified``) that looks like the following example:
+
+ .. code::
+
+ ac_add_options --target=i686
+
+#. Run ``./mach build``.
