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.

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

    What do people think about this?

    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.

  • Is it possible to use 32-bit firefox with 64-bit java plugin?

    Is it possible to use 32-bit firefox with 64-bit java plugin?
    I'd like to use 32-bit firefox and I already install 64-bit java plugin.
    Is that a right choice not to install 32-bit java plugin?
    Will these cause problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Nope - you need the 32bit Java to go with the 32bit Firefox if you want Java to run

  • I can't install Java in Firefox. Intead Java works fine with IE. I preffer Firefox 4 but...I'm running Win 7 64-bit.

    I;m running win7 64-bit and I can;t install Java in Firefox 4. Java works fine with IE.

    On Java, I think we've covered the basics. There are a couple of other articles that might help:

    On Norton, there are a number of recent threads here, but I have not been reading them. Hopefully someone has posted the answer.

  • [SOLVED]32 bit firefox on 64 bit arch

    I want to use flash but from the output error message it looks as though flash could not be compatible with 64 bit firefox. I would like to know how to get 32bit firefox from the repositories or is there some way to run in compatibility mode with a 32bit option. Thanks.

    If you are determined to use Firefox 32 bit you can get it from the AUR:

    If I could stay away from it that would be good. Like I said in my previous post should i remove the one i downloaded?

  • Can you tell me if I have a 64 bit operating system which Java update do I download

    Please can anyone advise me on what Java update I download for a Windows 7 64 bit operating system. My Firefox is telling me I need to urgently update my Java but when I click through to update all that is there is a page of confusing information about 32 bit and 64 bit systems. It asks which version am I using 64 bit version of Firefox or 32 bit. I didn't know there were two, I thought when referring to 64 bit and 32 bit it meant the operating system of my computer. Can anyone clear this up for me. Thank you.

    Of course, if you have a x64 bit system, its better to download a x64 bit Java version. However, i think Firefox won't be able to use it since Firefox isn't x64 bit (yet). So if you need Java in your browser, you'll need Java's 32bit version.
    Keep in mind i could be wrong. It's just my guessing because i tried it out some months ago. I installed 64bit Java but Firefox couldn't handle it.
    However in my opinion you won't recognize a difference between 32 and 64 bit, unless you play games in Java or do other resource intensive work. 32bit will always work on a 64bit PC, but not the other way around.

  • Where can i find a 32-bit Firefox browser? Can't find it anywhere on this damn website!

  • 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?

  • How do I tell if I have Firefox 32 bit or 64 bit?

    I am trying to update my java add on, but I can not find ANYWHERE which version, 32 bit or 64 bit, of Firefox to know which one to install.

    You appear to be running 32bit. Mozilla Firefox isn't currently offered in 64bit on Windows, aside from the Nightly testing releases.
    Your User Agent (check it from Help -> Troubleshooting Information) does indicate which version you're running, in a roundabout way - ''WOW64'' is what Windows calls running 32bit applications on 64bit Windows. If you were running 64bit Firefox, you would see ''x64'' instead.

  • Is there firefox 64 bit for windows 7 64 bit?

    I have firefox version 20 32 bit and noticed on java that there is 64 bit browsers and I like firefox so I was hoping there is a 64 bit version of firefox for windows. Also what is the firefox nightly? I dont wana download and install something that I dont know. Thank you for your time.

    Duplicate of [/questions/959549] Locked.
    The Nightly you mentioned is a development channel where 24.0a1 is currently on and it gets checkins pretty much everyday and therefore gets a update each of those days. It is meant more for developers and testers and not stable use.

  • Where's a 64-bit Firefox?

    This question was probably asked before, but I guess it's important to keep asking so that the developers will realize that this is actually important.
    I'm running a 64-bit Windows 7 for a few years now. I'm not sure if they even make 32-bit processors anymore. Any new PC you see advertised comes with Windows 8 64-bit. Both versions of Windows come with 64-bit IE. To be honest, the 32-bit IE is not only included, but is also default, but this is for the sake of backward compatibility. Opera is available in 64 bit, and so is Firefox, but only for Linux and Mac OS.
    So where's the 64-bit Firefox for Windows? For years we've been hearing about plugins. Now, both Flash and Java are available in 64-bit. 64-bit Nightly works perfectly, I run it for years without any problem. Third-party builds also exist and work fine. So why not make an effort and promote the 64-bit Nightly higher up the production chain?
    Sometimes we hear about "other priorities". But let's be honest here - what other priorities? I'm not sure why would I care about HTML5 - YouTube already works, and I don't see why should I care if it's in Flash or HTML5. Same about most other "cutting edge" features. I don't think I notice them. But I do notice that I have to run a 32-bit application on a 64-bit machine. Some people ask - what's the advantage of using 64-bit Firefox? I ask, why should I run a 32-bit application on a 64-bit machine? Just because it works? That's just not good enough.
    So, enough with the excuses, just do it! That's what people are waiting for, not the "Firefox OS" (now why would I buy anything from a "proudly non-profit" company?)!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to determine IE type(32 bit or 64 bit) in a task sequence while updating Java

    How to determine IE type(32 bit or 64 bit) in a task sequence
    Hi,
    Currently i have to update new version of Java after removing all the previous existing version of Java by using TS in SCCM 2007.
    we have both 32 bit and 64 bit browser in the environment. I am stucked in determining whether the browser is of 32 bit or 64 bit.
    How to determine IE type(32 bit or 64 bit) in a task sequence so that respective java can be installed for that IE browser.
    will highly appreciate quick response.
    Thanks in advance.
    Daya

    But you also need to install JRE x86 on x64 systems, since most people actually use the 32bit browsers on x64 systems.
    The detection logic is actually pretty simple -- just check the right registry hive to find the installation location of the BIN\JAVA.DLL. Both pathnames are stored in HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.7 in the registry value "JavaHome",
    but the x86 path is stored in the 32-bit hive and the x64 path is stored in the 64-bit hive.

  • 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?
