32 bit Firefox Segmentation fault on 64 bit host

Hi,
I'm running CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (64 bit). I've done may
installs and got flash working using a 32bit firefox.
This is a newly installed host and I have a 32 bit firefox
installed yet flash 10 always causes a segmentation fault when I
access a web page that has flash content.
strace on firefox shows:
write(2, "/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/run-mozil"...,
97/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 6278
Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
I can't see the problem. As I said previously, I've had
firefox and flash (32bit) working perfectly happliy on 64 bit
before but it is now broken.
Any with any clues?
Thanks in advance.

Pl post details of exact OS, database and client versions.
Yes, you can install 32-bit client software, as long as you use a separate ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME to do so.

When will Firefox offer a 64-bit version ? I use my 32-bit Firefox,but keep my 64-bit Waterfox and Pale Moon ready, when Firefox crashes on Windows 8.

I am a Firefox Veteran. Been around since the NCSA web browser days and used the first Firefox web browsers. I have never liked or trusted Microsoft Windows, so I've never used Internet Explorer. I had tweaked Windoze Blue Screen Of Death software from the Windows 3.0 days and did minor maintenance on the "Pizza Boxes" to keep them alive until I or my duty station could afford a newer one. Firefox has always performed for me working for "Uncle Sam" or at home. I keep Firefox and the versions: Sea Monkey, Aurora, Nightly on my laptop because I like Firefox and I like to switch from one browser to the other sometimes -- plus, in a Windows crash, I have a backup browser. Windows always "Crashes"; somethings never change. My 32-bit Firefox doesn't seem as reliable on my 64-bit 'Windoze' 8 as it was on Windows 7. My hope is that some of the Firefox Gurus have a 64-bit Firefox up on blocks in the shed out back ready to rock and roll or at least release as experimental to be played with and tested. Thanks guys -- Keep up the good work. Sam

Someday. This is a question asked multiple times but the answer is always the same, there is no real benefit to moving to 64 bit Firefox, and the amount of work required to do something with no benefit makes this a low priority. Eventually it will happen, but just because it uses 64bit doesn't magically make things better.

Firefox 'Segmentation fault'

I have been using Firefox since I first got Arch, and after a month or two, it started randomly crashing. I figured it would go away, and things would be fine. But is continued, to the point that I only opened Firefox in the terminal. And when it finally crashed while opened in the terminl, it gave me this error:

Is this anything I can fix, or is it just Firefox?

skottish wrote:It's probably your theme or some Firefox extension that you have loaded. The first thing that I would do is change the theme and see if you can reproduce the crash. If you can, try turning off your extensions one by one until you figure out if that's the reason and which one is causing it.
I did change the theme, and I will wait to see if it will crash again. And if it does, I will start with all my extensions. Probably staring with the weirdest of them, that are more probable to cause problems.

I have Windows 7, but have only 32-bit ?...need 64-bit. How do I install 64-bit version? Am not computer savvy?

I have Windows 7 on my computer. I keep getting messages when I want to do various things on my computer which say that I only have a 32-bit version of ???? and I need to update to a 64-bit version of ??? I am not computer savvy and do not understand 32-bit version of what they are talking about; nor, do I know how to update to the 64-bit version. Are they referring to my web browser, or what? And, how do I update to the 64-bit version. Do I have to buy different software, or what? Someone, please help me with this. It happened again today when I wanted to update my Java plug-in. Said I was using 32-bit, so would have to install both 32 and 64-bit version. I am confused.

Firefox is currently only as a 32 bit application available.<br />
A 64 bit Firefox version requires all plugins to be 64 bit as well and not many plugins have a 64 bit version.
You shouldn't have any problem with running that 32 bit Firefox version on a 64 bit Windows platform.

This is mozilla firefox from xubuntu repository, here's the details:
firefox 35.0.1+build amd64
I tried to reinstall the package, remove the extension xul-ext-webaccounts, and create a new profile without success.
I don't know if the previous segmentation faults may be related to the recent flash security bugs CVE-2015-0313..
Anyway I checked the plugin and updated the shockwave flash plugin from 11.2.202.440 to 11.2.202.442
Now I experienced a crash of the shockwave flash plugin again, but it lets the browser and os responsive.
Here are the kernel report by dmesg:

I don't know if disabling hardware accelaration from the adobe player could be effective.. Anyway I can't follow the guide at https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues becouse the right click context menu "Settings" of the flash player appears not clickable (disabled)
Anyway I'll turn off the hardware accelaration option from the browser.
Unfortunatly I haven't tested the 32 bit version from mozilla repo yet.
Thanks for your fast reply.

Windows Vista 64 bit/firefox browser -which flash?

Hi, Can you please tell me what version of flash to install on Windows Vista 64 bit/ firefox browser?..Thanks!

Well, Firefox doesn't make a 64-bit version, so it won't use any 64-bit plugins, as far as I know.
Likewise, in IE10 (in Win7 or 8... MS blackmail encouraging you to update), unless you've checked Enable Protected Mode on the Security tab, AND have checked Enable Enhanced Protected Mode way down in the Security section on the Advanced tab (both tabs are in Internet Options), even if you explicitly run the 64-bit iexplore.exe file located in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ subdir, it actually loads a 32-bit tab in the 64-bit window, and any page loaded in that 32-bit tab will use 32-bit plugins and add-ons. To force it to load 64-bit tabs in the 64-bit window (and ergo use 64-bit plugins and add-ons, such as the 64-bit ActiveX version of FlashPlayer, if available), both of those Protected Mode options must be checked.
You can confirm that by looking in Task Manager on the Processes tab... without those Protected Mode options checked, you'll see an instance of iexplore.exe (for each 64-bit window) and an instance of iexplore.exe *32 (32-bit) for each tab open; WITH those Protected Mode options checked (then fully close all instances of Internet Explorer - just reboot to make sure), all you'll see is an instance of iexplore.exe for each 64-bit window, plus an instance of iexplore.exe for each tab open... and in that case you shouldn't see *any* instances of iexplore.exe *32 on the Processes tab.

I completely uninstalled everything associated with firefox in synaptic package manager, then reinstalled the latest version of firefox again.
Evidently one of the add-ons was preventing firefox from opening, not sure which one though. I hope this will help someone else. Firefox is working now.

Firefox on Win 7 64 bit is a big memory hogger; on Win 8.1 32 bit, it's not

As above; I have several PCs, on two of which I use FF regularly. One PC has Win 7 64-bit as OS while the other has Win 8.1 32-bit as OS.
I noticed that Firefox on Win 7 64-bit is a big memory hogger, sometimes eating up more than 2GB of RAM and obviously getting into an overflow of some sort after prolonged use. It essentially has some problem regarding memory or chache management, as closing tabs does not lower RAM consumption. It is not possible to leave FF open for days without experiencing this error. In Task Manager, I noticed that when the overflow occurs, FF keeps increasing its memory consumption.
On Win 8.1 32-bit, the above problem does not exist. Closing tabs lowers memory consumption, an overflow does not occur, and leaving the window open for days does not affect performance.
Can anyone help?

Memory leaks are almost always caused by plugins or add-ons. These leaks can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

When will get 64-bit PDF converter for 64-bit Firefox variants (Cyberfox, Waterfox, etc.)

I use 64-bit Firefox variants (Cyberfox, Waterfox, etc.), and am frustrated that the PDF Converter addin with Acrobat Pro X and XI does not yet work with them. I understand that a 64-bit DLL is needed for the add-in to work. Inasmuch as the PDF converter works with 64-bit IE-9 and IE-10 and Office2007/2010, I am at a loss to understand why a 64-bit PDF converter add-in for Firefox 64-bit variants is not available. WHEN?
Thank you.

Someday. This is a question asked multiple times but the answer is always the same, there is no real benefit to moving to 64 bit Firefox, and the amount of work required to do something with no benefit makes this a low priority. Eventually it will happen, but just because it uses 64bit doesn't magically make things better.

Can I run 32 bit firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how ? Flash player loads slow.

Can I run 32 bit Firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how do I do that? Flash player loads videos slowly. You tube videos are mostly loading slowly or hanging up. It seems to have happened after the last Firefox update.

According to website I have Flash Player installed but I cannot run a program (BBC iPlayer DeskTop) that requires 64 Bit Flash player Any ideas?
Does that program require the Flash Player ActiveX Control, or the plugin? If you only have the ActiveX Control (for Internet Explorer) installed, then you may also need the plugin (for other browsers). Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Can a 32-bit version of Firefox work with a 64-bit plugin and the other way around?

I'm using a notebook with Windows 7 x64 and Firefox 4.0.1 x86 and I used to have JDK 1.6.0.24 x64 installed, and also it's corresponding public JRE (also x64). Yesterday, I noticed that Java applets didn't work in Firefox. It asked me to install the required plugin. I did, and JRE 6u22 x86 was installed alongside. Now Java applets did work, hurray.
Because I didn't want multiple (old) JRE's, I uninstalled all of them and installed JDK 1.6.0.25 with it's public JRE instead. Again, 64-bit. Now Firefox refuses to notice Java again. The plugin menu doesn't show any Java-related plugins. (Not even Java Deployment Toolkit, which used to be there before.) I have tried setting the current Java distribution as default for all browsers with the Java Control Panel, but that didn't work.
Is this just because Firefox x86 can't deal with x64 plugins? Should I download a x64 build of Firefox instead? Or will that make the rest of my addons stop working?
EDIT: currently I removed the 64-bit JRE and installed its 32-bit variant. Everything works again, also in Firefox. I would still prefer to have everything 64-bit though.

Mozilla hasn't yet released a 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows, they're all 32-bit.
Namoroka is a pre-release version used for testing new features and security fixes, and was available in 32-bit and 64-bit variants for all OS's. Currently only the Nightly version is available in a 64-bit versions for Windows - currently Nightly 10.a1.
You can get the latest release version here. For Windows it is a 32-bit application. <br />

Firefox 11 segmentation fault

Hello,
I just wanted to have a look at the newest linux action show but when clicking on the newest episode "Linux Games" firefox crashes with just the message
segmentation fault
in the console output. I have tried a "vanilla" firefox (renaming ~/.mozilla) but same result.
Any ideas?

That was it! Uninstalled flash and the site loads fine.
It's strange that flash works on youtube but this site crashes firefox.
So I guess I have to downgrade flash, wait for a fix or just watch the episode directly on youtube?

Embedded Google search on our website is not showing results. Windows 8, 64 bit, Firefox 30

We have Google Search embedded in our website. It was brought to my attention by one of our employees that Firefox is not showing the results of the search after the search button is clicked. The issue seems to be only confined to Firefox. Tested the issue on Internet Explorer 10 and Google Chrome and both are working as expected, showing the results on our results page.
I am using Windows 8, 64 bit, Firefox 30. The user having the issue is on Windows 7, 64 bit.
I used the Web console and there were an error message of
'TypeError: google.search.Search.apiary5337 is not a function'.
I am not sure this is the root of the issue or not, but why would this work in Chrome and Internet Explorer and not in Firefox?
If you need to check it, out website is http://www.dmns.org/ . The search box it on the top right of the page. You will see that the page redirects to our '/results?q=searchterm'. We are a science institution so if you type "science" in the search box, you will get redirected to the '/results' page with the query string of 'science' for the search term. But in my case the search results below are blank. If you do the same search if Chrome or IE the results show fine.
Oh, I do not have any add on installed on Firefox.
Any suggestions or a fix would be great.
Thank you.

Problem SOLVED.
This is probably still a bug in Firefox. Our Google Search <script> that call the Javascript service from Google was within the Body tag. I moved the Script tag to the head and now it seems to work as expected. In the new Firefox, are <script> tags not allowed within the Body element?

I work on a Mac and want to know if the current Firefox 22.0 is 32-bit or 64-bit. Where do I find this information?

I have to use a SAP system that only supports 32-bit, so if I can choose to have a Firefox browser as a 32-bit browser on my Mac, how do I do this?

On Mac, Firefox comes as a i386/x86_64 universal binary, so should be working in 32 bit mode as well.
