From the shell: setarch i386 (or whatever you want) But fwiw, flash works for me using the 64bit firefox. Make sure you have nspluginwrapper.i386 and nspluginwrapper.x86_64 installed. Firefox is much faster in this mode. |
Description of problem: some 3rd party plugins for firefox (flash) ship in 32-bit versions. Ergo, i want to be able to tell firefox to run in 32bit mode...but the startup script makes this really tough. i keep having to hack /usr/bin/firefox. ideally, the firefox startup script would respect the MOZ_ARCH variable instead of clobberring it....and ideally 3rd-party plugins (flash) would install export MOZ_ARCH=i386 into /etc/profile.d and the world would be grand... please incorporate this patch...
