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 />

  • Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

    Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

    Thanks for the interest. Preferences are similar on both machines: screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing & scanner sharing all ticked and radio button for Screen Sharing is ON.
    My confusion is that I can get a network connection to the iMac by selecting "go to server" on the PowerMac running 10.5.8 but am unable to make the iMac connect to the PowerMac using similar selections. When ethernet cable is plugged in the PowerMac shows up on the finder bar on the iMac, but it does not allow either screen sharing or connection to occur - a dialog box tells me to check System Prefs and Network connection.
    I'm hoping to export a large file of photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my wife's PowerMac and hoped to achieve this with an ethernet network connection.

  • Can I charge a 38mm watch with a 42mm charger? Or the other way around?

    I have a 42mm Watch and my wife has a 38mm sport.  I bought an extra 42mm charger that I leave in my laptop bag. Before we left I put her 38mm on my 42mm charger and it showed charging.  Now that we are gone on a trip I put her watch on the charger and it showed charging but the battery level actually went down.  I did some reading and it seems if you turn the watch off and back on it seems to charge better.  I put it back on the charger and it actually went up some. 
    Now when I put my 42mm on there it charges in a hurry but the 38 seems slow.  I guess I'll charge mine first and turn it off and let hers charge over night.
    What are the difference in between the 38mm and 42mm chargers?  Is it just the physical size?  Can they be used interchangeably? 
    Thanks,
    D.

    OK - there is more to the story.  The reboot seems to have helped but the other thing is the band.  The band is very stiff on the sport band.  I believe it was raising the watch up off the charger.  Yes, it said charging but it wasn't charing very fast.  I put the charger up on a corner of my iPad so the watch band was not resting on the table as much.  The watch started charing must faster. 
    Thanks,
    D.

  • Hey guys i wonder, is there 64 bit version of Firefox exist? I google that. And i find & download MineField. its cool but i like more firefox icon..:P

    hi,
    i wonder is there 64 bit version of firefox exist? or not?. I google that and i get Minefield. But i like more Firefox icon. If there is 64 bit version of Firefox exist, would u write me download address?

    Thank you.

    There is no released 64 bit version of Firefox. What you obtained is mainly for people testing plug-ins and to be sure that things work when it is available. You would not be able to do much without your plug-ins and they all have to be rewritten. Though Flash is now distributed with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions to Firefox users with 64-bit, so that is one major hurdle.

    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

  • Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

    Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
    And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
    I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos.  You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
    It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image.  I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide).  So
    Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
    Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
    Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
    Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
    It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken.  No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
    You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
    Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.

  • Can I open iPad keynote and iPad pages on a PC Microsoft word and a PC Microsoft PowerPoint? also the other way around?

    Can I open iPad keynote and iPad pages on a PC Microsoft word and a PC Microsoft PowerPoint? also the other way around?

    Yes. You can export iPad Pages and Keynote files as Word and PowerPoint files and you can upload/transfer/email Word and PowerPoint files to the iPad and work on them in Pages and Keynote.
    Be advised that there will be some degree of formatting issues and also that the iOS versions of Pges and Keynote do not the full functionality of Word and PowerPoint on a computer.

  • Event in ical on my iphone 4 does not  synch with ical on my imac. the other way around works perfect

    the other way around works perfect. does anyone has a clue?

    I just realized I am having the same problem.  All iCal events are on my iMac, but I can only view the last 12 months or so on my iPhone 4s.  Searching within iCal or the main Search window on the iPhone give the same results, zero.
    So when I am at the doctors and they want to know when my child last saw Dr. SoAndSo, the search on the phone shows zero, when I know this is an annual appointment.
    Very frustrating.  I hope there is a setting that I've just missed since I got the phone last Fall.

  • I need to install Internet Explorer 6 or greater on my iMac to work with a program.  How is the best way to do that?

    I need to install Internet Explorer 6 or greater on my iMac (intel processor) running MacOS 10.6.8 to work with a program.  How is the best way to accomplish this?

    There is no way.  IE has not been available for the Mac for years now.
    Your only option is to install native Windows and use that - either through a bootcamp dual-boot scenario, or use a virtual machine to run windows in (eg. Parallels or VMWare Fusion).  Either way, you will need a full retail install disk for Windows.
    P.S. the last version of IE for Mac was for PPC machines, and it was discontinued in 2003.

  • How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable.  I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

    The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind.  Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

  • Why isn't "Find My iPad" automatically enabled on the device when purchased? Why is it a feature that is OFF and has to be turned ON instead of the other way around? I didn't know it needed to be enabled and now it's stolen and I can't locate it

    Why isn't the "Find My iPad", "Find My Mac", etc. feature not automatically enabled in the iCloud Settings on every device? My iPad was stolen a couple days ago and it's been showing Offline under "Find My iPhone" feature so I started doing some research. Come to find out "Find My iPad" has to be enabled under the PRIVACY button in SETTINGS. I never knew that!!! That feature is highly needed for Apple products so can some explain why it's not already enabled on every device and actually has to be turned ON from the OFF position and not the other way around? Now some lucky person has stolen my iPad and I can't locate it because Apple wanted to give me the choice to enable it once it was already ******* stolen!

    Simply stated that is design. If you want to suggest a change, there is a feedback section elsewhere on this site.
