I have windows 7 with 64 bit. Does Firefox use 64 or 32 bit for the browser?

I have tried the plug in update and it tells me that Java needs to be updated but I am not sure if Firefox is using 64 or 32. Please advise.

I'm not a developer, I'm a hardware/ OS guy so I'm sure my question will get me a lot of eye rolls. but I know personally I've been monitoring the progress of 64 bit browsers especially Firefox, and Mozilla has had multiple versions of a 64 bit browser, the most recent I believe WAS version 8, but now that version 8 will be the next major upgrade, Version 10 is going to be the version released with a full feature 64 bit version.
OK OK I'll get to the point. Why is 64 bit such a huge problem for mozilla that it keeps getting delayed... over... and over... and over? We're talking over several years. Im sure it's a valid reason but being a hardware guy, after a couple years of the same pattern, I finally have to ask. I'm mean even Adobe has beat you to the world of 64 bit with their version of flash. And that's saying something because they were really dragging their feet. (for the record firefox is my browser of choice hence my inquiry)

    No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.

  • Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

    PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
    I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
    I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
    What can be the problem here, please help?
    Thanks.

    Hi roberto-
    Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

  • EBS R12 on Windows Vista with 32 bit

    Hi,
    Does anybody have installed EBS R12 (32 bit) on Windows Vista with 32 bit successfully?
    I am aware that with Windows Vista 64 bits EBS R12 for Windows does not work.
    Thanks,

    Hi Hussien,
    Thanks for your reply. I will not buy any type of Windows Vista for this purpose. I will buy a desktop PC with Windows XP Professional (32-bit) and with 500 GB. The Oracle Installation Guide recommends about 233 GB (dosk space) for a fresh install with a Vision Demo database. Do you think 500GB is more than enough for the initial install? Does it matter which processor I buy (AMD or Intel)? Do have any recommendation as to what processor should I buy (E series or Q series for Intel processor)?
    Thanks again in advance.

  • I have problems printing with a HP Officejet 6500 printer directly from my iMac. The printer itself does function well, as I can print from another PC without any problems. Does anyone have a clue?

    I have problems printing with a HP Officejet 6500 printer directly from my iMac. The printer itself does function well, as I can print from another PC without any problems. Does anyone have a clue?

    Hello:
    I must apologize  .  I should have checked here first:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
    According to the list, there is no driver for your printer included in OS X 10.7.
    There are a couple of options:
    1.  Contact HP to see if they have a workaround.
    2. If the model of printer is not listed but your printer is a PostScript printer or PCL Laser printer, try the "Generic PostScript" or "PCL Laser printer" drivers.  Generic printer drivers may not let you access all the features of your printer.
    I have not tried #2, but some people have had success.

  • Are there known issues concerning double clicking in FF? We found bug 542068. Most of the issue we found have to do with Flash. Does it affect other applications (JSP/Javascript) too?

    Are there known issues concerning double clicking in FF? We found bug 542068. Most of the issue we found have to do with Flash. Does it affect other applications (JSP/Javascript) too?

    If there is a pattern of the application working up to Firefox 3.6.3 and not working starting with Firefox 3.6.4, there could be a problem with trying to communicate events between firefox.exe (which hosts pages) and plugin-container.exe (which hosts some plugins). You can tweak your settings to force plugins to run in firefox.exe to see whether this is the problem. This article has some background information on that:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    ''Do you know if there are problems with Firefox 3.6 when you double click in a JSP/JAVA/Javascript application?''
    No, I don't know. Obviously I can't read every post here, but I haven't read about it before.
    Is it a stupid question to ask: why does that matter?? To fix the application to work in Firefox 3.6 and above, we need to see a page that works on other browsers and fails in Firefox. It doesn't need to be the whole application, just enough to demonstrate the problem so that if we solve it, then you can apply that learning back to your application.

    You cannot.  If someone else told you there is a way then they will need to show you.  After Effects requires a 64-bit system and the latest release requires Mac OS X v10.8 or v10.9 minimum

  • I have windows 8 with adobe flash running, it also runs in facebook except in games.

    I have windows 8 with adobe flash installed and running, it also runs in facebook except in games.It shows me a blank screen with adobe flash download box in the upper left hand corner. but when i click it, no down load begins.

    Windows 8 comes with Flash Player built in (for Internet Explorer). If you run WIndows Update, it should update your Flash Player Plugin for IE.
    If you've "broken free of Microsoft's chains" and use another browser (like Firefox or Chrome), download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking the following link.

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
    We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

    And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
    If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install.  Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

  • Can I share photostream with someone who does not use Apple devices?

    If I share a photostream with someone who does not use Apple products, will they be able to view the Photostream?

    Shared photoStreams are also available on a PC
    How do friends and family view my photos?
    Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream. Learn more about inviting people to view your shared photo streams.
    Set up instructions for the PC are in my previous link
