Firefox 32-bit w/ JRE 32-bit on 64-bit Windows OS (Vista, Windows 7)

What do people think about this?
[http://warnerchad.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-java-in-firefox-3-on-vista-64.html|http://warnerchad.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-java-in-firefox-3-on-vista-64.html]
It describes a solution for making the Firefox plugin work for Java 32-bit & Firefox 32-bit, running on a 64-bit Windows OS. -- I can confirm that this is an issue, and can confirm that this is the fix.
I suspect it's because of the new convention for 32-bit apps (C:\Program Files (x86)\...), and the JRE doesn't recognize that Firefox is there, because it assumes it should be in C:\Program Files\... ?
Should a bug report be submitted?

How do you get the 32bit client to communicate with the 64bit Oracle instance on the same windows box? After installing the 64 bit db and client (on a developer desktop), I installed the 32 bit client to a different oracle home. I could not get it to connect to the listener - what am I doing wrong? Should I reinstall it to the 64bit home - I'm afraid that'll kill everything though.
Also, I think I'm correct in this, but not sure: any 32bit app must use the 32bit client on the 64bit box. MS Access needs 32bit ODBC, which needs 32bit client, etc.
Thx,
Jeff

Firefox.exe (32 bit) continues to run in the background after closing, Im running Firefox (64 bit).

After browsing the web and downloading items from websites, with Firefox's built in download manager, then closing Firefox I'll have to open my task manager and manually stop the 32 bit .exe. Im running Firefox (64 bit) on a Win7 (64 bit) system.

Is my firefox 64 bit or 32 bit

That is all I want to know How do I find out if i have firefox 64 or 32 bit????????

Your user agent in more system details on right of your post shows this.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; '''WOW64'''; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1
Note the '''WOW64''' as this means it is a 32-bit app running on 64-bit Windows.
Mozilla does not have 64-bit Firefox releases for Windows yet while there has been 64-bit builds for Mac OSX and Linux since Firefox 4.0

Is there a Firefox 64 bit version for Win 7 64 bit. I cant find any data on this.

I have read that there may be a 64 bit version of Firefox. My latest upgrade is V 6.0 which to me is no different to earlier versions and still loads very slow put of the box. I am not to keen on using beta versions as I have experienced many troubles in the past using these on my Win 7 64 bit . Every upgrade always seems to be the old 32bit. Surely by now most programs should have caught up to 64 bit. Thanks for any help

Win64 Nightly has existed for some time however they are not supported (like the Win32, Mac OSX 32/64-bit and Linux 32/64-bit are) as they are currently more for to catch breakage/regressions. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Supported_build_configurations
No it is not simply because the 32-bit version works.
The 64-bit Windows builds has still been a work in progress on a number of things that needs to be in order, especially for Win64 Releases to happen.
For reading as Bugzilla is not a discussion forum like here.

Firefox 64 bit and flash 32 bit chroot

Since two days im trying to get 32 bit flash plugin to work with firefox 64 bit using chroot enviroment. I followed those instructions on archwiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _in_Arch64 but theres only solution for both firefox and flash 32 bit.
Any ideas how to do this?

- Go to Flash10 x86_64.
- Download file at bottom.
- Decompress it.
- Copy ".so" file over ~/.mozilla/plugins folder.
- Restart firefox...
I suggest evryone just avoid mixing 64bits and 32bits... unless impossible (ie. wine64 doesn't run win32 apps, just win64 ones)
EDIT: Oh, about your "real" question: maybe you were looking for "ndispluginwrapper" (or something alike)
EDIT2: I forgot to mention you should read some literacy about "what is a chroot and what is its purpouse"....

Auto-update not working on 64-bit Windows Firefox Aurora

I realize the correct directory to download Aurora builds would be http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora-l10n/, but it does not have 64-bit Windows build which is unfortunately the only way to solve severe stuttering problems in Flash.
Previously I had used nightly builds, while they did work fine most of the time sometimes there issues that forced me back to standard builds, and stuttering Flash.
So instead I've been trying to use 64-bit Aurora I downloaded from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/. It's been a smooth experience otherwise but auto-update doesn't work. First it attempts to install small patch, which fails. Then it tries to install full update, which again fails.
Here's a screenshot of the full update failure message: http://i.imgur.com/8HmPjTE.jpg

Thanks for the feedback. The topic linked above suggests that the problem with auto-update lies with CA certificate. I've submitted feedback to Moziilla and linked here just in case.
If the cause of failing auto-update is the CA certificate, hopefully Mozilla is willing to correct the problem.
Stuttering Flash in 32-bit Firefox is simply unbearable and I have to either use 64-bit Nightly or Aurora builds, or go Chrome.

32 bit JRE in 64 bit windows.

Hello,
I know its very much basic question... But i am not much clear about it.
Can u plz anyone clear me....
Rite now i am using my java application with jre 1.6.0_11 in 32 bit Windows architecture.
And now we planned to support *64 bit Windows architecture like Windows 2008 Server R2,Windows 7 (64 bit) etc..*.
Now my confusion is whether *32 bit jre will work properly with this 64 bit architectures*?
Please guide me....
Thank You !!!

I think you will not be able to install a 32 bit application in 64 bit machine.
In general installing a 32 bit application in 64 bit is no issue. You can do it.what i am saying is if the user is installing a 32 bit application into a 64 bit application then whether the application will work or not will depend on some factors. There is no straight answer "yes" or "No" for this. Depend on application to application. Also on the type os support provided by the 64 bit OS for running 32 bit application.
please give me clear information that whether my 32 bit jre (which is used my java application) will work in 64 bit architecture?why don't you just install and check it whether it is working or not. I think you can do this while sitting in your chair.
if i run my application with 32 bit jre in 64 bit architecture will i encounter any kind of performance or real time issue?I have given a link in my replies check it again.

I need to run Adobe Avtive X on my 64 bit Windows System with Mozilla Firefox but do not seem to be able to download one that works

I use Firefox on a 64 bit Windows system. I need to use Adobe Active x but cannot get a download to work. Any suggestions

It is working for me if I open a second Firefox instance with its own profile by starting Firefox with the -no-remote command line switch.

As for performance issues in Firefox with Flash 1080p videos, Information about your graphics driver might help. See:

Downloading 64-bit Windows JRE-"64-bit Windows offline download" not found

I am trying to download and install the latest JRE for Windows 2008 R2 Server (x64).
When I go to Java's manual download page:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
it does not appear to distinguish between 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64).
The FAQ on this page:
http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml
says this:
You can manually update Java on 64-bit Windows by running the latest Java 64-bit offline installer
Follow these instructions for installing 64-bit Java on your system.
Choose the 64-bit Windows offline download. The File Download dialog box appears.
So - where is the "latest Java 64-bit offline installer"?
Thanks,
Chuck

Java.com will not provide the 64bit JRE if the visitor is not using a 64bit browser. Windows IE on Vista/Win7 64bit OS's defaults to 32bit IE. If one downloads the 64bit installer, installs and then launches the 32bit IE, there will not be a plugin. Users then gets very confused.
Use a 64bit browser, java.com will offer the 64bit JRE.

Webex - 32-bit firefox + 32-bit java [solved]

Hi all,
I am having trouble getting my 32-bit firefox and 32-bit java working together nicely. I installed both from the AUR and in order for firefox (32-bit) to see the plugins, I manually export the MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH and JAVA_HOME. Once I do that, I can see I have java, but once I go to the java test site, the applet fails to load. I linked the libnpjp2 library, is there anything else special I need to do? Also, I have the same problem at the webex test site. Since java apparently is not properly configured, the applet there also does not start.

I am no longer using specifically a 32-bit browser, I just enabled the multilib repository and nspluginwrapper which pulls in 32-bit compatiblity libraries which I need for something else. I have it working now to my satisfaction.

Where can I find firefox 64-bit

Hi!
I installed ORACLE Entrprise Linux 4 u.7 64-bit. Where can I find firefox 64-bit? It is absent in the distribution.
...

Hi Herb,
For the record, we are talking about the Flash plugin from Adobe being an "alpha" release, not the Firefox browser.... (see: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html)
It's "alpha", in that Adobe assumes no responsibility for supporting incompatibilities with the Flash spec., would be my guess. I've been using it since November, 2009 (and the latest refresh of the Alpha, early Feb., 2010) with good results. By "good", I mean, it hasn't crashed my browser, seems to perform moderately well on my laptop, and I can hit all the Flash sites like YouTube, ETrade, and things "just work". I've had much better luck with this alpha release of the plugin than I've had with the Linux open-source plugin, swfdec: http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/
If you read the Adobe FAQ (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/faq.html#flashplayer10FAQ_64-bit03) it appears Adobe plans to release the full version with their next major release cycle.
Hope that clarifies...

Will firefox 32 bit run on lion 7.0

will firefox 32 bit run on lion 7.0

I don't believe they make anything but Firefox. It runs on either and it runs on Lion.

FireFox 64-bit?

Hi. I'm at my limit with the 32-bit I'm using. I don't see any 64-bit out. What's the deal? Is there any possible hope for a 64-bit version?
The reason I'm asking this is because FireFox doesn't seem to fully take advantage of my RAM. I have 32GB 2400Mhz DDR3 and I have over 300 tabs and I'm using an addon that actually unloads tabs that are not in use or if they're not used within the past hour. So that helps, but FireFox crashes everytime. Even new fresh installation doesn't help or moving them over to a different computer doesn't help either. To my understanding, the latest version of FireFox has a maximum amount of RAM that it can use so I can only guess that it's 32-bit version.
Unless I'm wrong, please correct me. Don't ask what I use the tabs for. That's just what I do. My systerm is super beefed up so clearly that isn't the issue here.

Note that you are referring to 64-bit Windows only as there has been 64-bit for Mac OSX (combined 32/64) and 64-bit along with 32-bit for Linux since Firefox 4.0 from mozilla.org
Since the Win32 Firefox worked fine and there were a number of technical hurdles that needed to be done to get to Release it was made a lesser priority compared to other things in meantime. If it was the case of needing Win64 Firefox in order to use Firefox on 64-bit Windows then it would have been a top priority.
There is actually some work going on in have Win64 for Release as early as Firefox 37.0. Technically Mozilla could build Win64 Release now but would it be stable and a good idea, no.
From http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2876519
Mozilla plans to roll out the 64-bit in phases:
Phase 1: A separate 64-bit installer is provided and users are informed about it on the browser's what's new page. 64-bit builds are served from that moment on to users who opted-in. The majority of plugins and binary <strike>add-ons</strike> Extensions won't work in this phase.
Phase 2: A universal installer that supports both 32-bit and 64-bit. Flash support is provided either via 64-bit Flash or Shumway, and <strike>add-on</strike> Extensions support is improved.
Phase 3: Auto-update functionality.
The proposed version of Firefox for phase 1 is Firefox 37 Stable.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/win64
Correction as Addons does not mean one thing as it is a general word that groups together Plugins, Extensions, Themes (both real complete and images aka lightweight), dictionaries, search engines.

FireFox 5.0 maximizes (although it still is a single rectangle button in the upper left corner) shortly after I start it. I resize and go on. I have 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate

this started as soon as I upgraded to 5.0. at first I thought I clicked the icon but I don't have to touch anything. as soon as Firefox starts up completely, it goes to full screen. the window does not have the double rectangle maximized button, just the single rectangle resizable window buttoin

To get it you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.
