I need to open Firefox (7.0.1) in 32-bit mode, and the Get Info box does have this option.

I have downloaded a piece of software (Scorch) that requires me to open Firefox (I'm running 7.0.1) in 32-bit mode. The Get Info box on my Firefox does not have this option. My computer is a MacBook running OSX 10.5.8.
There is some time urgency on this! What can I do?

usually is a check box over the locked box:

do you have it in safari?
thank you

Firefox browser keeps going into not responding mode and the firefox experts continue to "not respond" to the problem. Firefox 11.0 and W7. When will you respond??

Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. you can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
Now when Firefox hangs, is this randomly, on specific websites, etc.? You can also read [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox-hangs https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox-hangs]

HT201432 Open in 32-bit mode not in "Get Info"

I don't see the option to "Open in 32-bit mode" in my "Get Info" window. How do I get that checkbox to appear?

Looks like that particular pref. pane was written for PowerPC machines - you'd have to be running Snow Leopard or earlier for it to work at all
You may want to switch to something that is still supported, like Onyx

Firefox is in privacy mode and the save passwords box is checked. I don't get prompted nor do I know how to say passwords.

Can passwords be saved only if the privacy is turned off?

* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
If that doesn't work then make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -private switch appended to the command line in the Firefox desktop shortcut.

I need to open FireFox 12.0 (on Mac Lion) in 32-bit mode. That option to restart in 32-bit doesn't exist under "Get Info" or anywhere. Your help please, Thanks!

The option to start in 32-bit mode is available in Safari. But Firefox 12.0 doesn't seem to even have it. Is it possible to upload an earlier version of Firefox? I need to be able to do this, the inability is actually interfering with work that I do to earn my living, so time is of the essence. Thanks for any help/guidance the community can offer.

Thank you, but that option doesn't seem to exist. I have attached a screen shot of the Get Info window, and I have been unable to locate the "Restart in 32-bit" option on it. It used to be right above the "locked" checkbox.

When I install firefox version 4, it is in offline mode and I cannot open it. How do I get around this problem.

when I install firefox version 4, it is in offline mode and I cannot open it.

In version 3.6.17, click '''File''', then click '''Work Offline '''to remove the checkmark.
In version 4.0.x right click a blank part of the Tab Bar and then click "Menu Bar". This will reinstate the text links. Then do the same as above.
To revert to the layout without the text links, repeat the same steps.
Sometimes, in FF4, you can hit the ALT key to toggle the text links on and off, but I've noticed in posts from other users that it doesn't always work.

Hello,
There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari). They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end. That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today. BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out. This is ridiculous.
I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

When I open the Firefox browser, there is a bar stating, "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32-bit mode" and asks me if I want to restart the browser in 32-bit mode. What do you recommend I do? Thank you.

I do not have any idea what plugin they are talking about.

Previous versions of Firefox were only 32 bit, Firefox 4 for the Mac contains 32 and 64 bit versions. If you want to always start Firefox in 32 bit mode, open up Finder and go to the Applications folder. Control-click the Firefox app and click "Get Info", then select the "Open in 32-bit mode" option.

Whenever I opened Firefox Start Page, all my bookmarks were displayed on the left side. I accidently hit something, and now all my bookmarks are gone. Help.

Firefox has a Bookmarks Sidebar you can open and close using Ctrl+b. That's pretty easy to hit if you're trying to bold something, but if a website doesn't intercept it, then it affects your sidebar.
Was that it?

you're going to have to check the version number again, there is no v11.04, the latest is v6.0.5

Running Firefox 4.0 on Mac OSX 10.6.6, using ATT mail, when I create a new email I get a browser message saying, "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32-bit mode," and I have to restart Firefox in 32-bit mode. Is there any way around this?

I am assuming the plugin that the Firefox message is referring to is for attaching a file to the email. I say this because at the bottom of a new email it has a link that says "Attach files more easily" which, when you click it, takes you to a setup process where you download an att updater. I ran that and it did seem to change anything. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to make Firefox handle this page without having to restart in 32-bit mode every time.

That means that you need to run Firefox in 32 bit mode if you want to use that plugin.
# Close Firefox
# Open the Applications folder in Finder
# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select "Open in 32-bit mode"
# Close the "Firefox Info" window
# Restart Firefox

How do I get to the Get Info screen in Firefox 20?

I wish to start Firefox in 32 bit mode. Previously in version 18 this was done by selecting File > Get Info > Open in 32 bit mode > Close Firefox

On a Mac, Firefox 4 versions and later are a 64 bit application (i386/x86_64 universal binary). 
If you have plugins that only work in 32 bit mode then you need to start Firefox in 32 bit mode to use such a plugin.
Don't you see "Open in 32-bit mode" ?
Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
You can use these steps to start Firefox in 32 bit mode:
# Close Firefox
# Start the Finder and open the Applications folder
# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
# Close the "Firefox Info" window
# Restart Firefox

When I click on a bookmark, it will not open in a new tab, but I have this option checked?

I have two issues since upgrading to FF4. The first issue is, when I click on a bookmark it will not automatically open in a new tab. I do have this option checked in my preferences, but it will not work. The second issue is when I search in the Google box, I cannot click on the auto search option.

Bookmarks always open in the current tab unless you middle-click or use Ctrl + left-click to open the bookmarks in a new tab just like you do with other links.
There are extensions that can change that behavior.
*Tab Utilities Lite: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-utilities-lite/

I need to open Firefox (7.0.1) in 32-bit mode, and the Get Info box does have this option.
