Howto Install 32 bit Firefox with Flash w/sound and Java for AMD64

[_mOrgoth_]

Hi... I installed firefox32 using this script on Ubuntu8.04x64. It works fine but when I try to install add-ons it always produce error -203(unexpected installation error). Is there any solution??

I got the 32-bit version to work, but the plug-in is not installed. How do I install the plug-in? (I did tell push 1 when installing.)

yep. you mean that you have gotten Firefox32 to run but there is no Java plugin right?

I've been having the same problem here. been chasing after this problem for days and when i thought I had finally gotten to smack it down with this method, it slips away yet again. but still gotta thank Kilz though.

That is correct. If you find a way to get it installed, please let me know. I will do the same for you.

Sorry forgot to upgrade the sun java version number.

sudo rm /usr/lib32/firefox32/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib32/firefox32/plugins/

Should fix it, next im uploading the fixed script.

I copied and pasted the two lines (one at a time), and now instead of plugin needed, I get a red X, then firefox grays out.

Didn't find any solution... I installed 8.04 32-bit version..Don't understand..everything worked fine on 7.10x64..

o.O it shouldn't even be saying plugin neeeded as its already under firefox 32's plugins after those 2 lines....

It's working now. The only thing that I did was to reinstall Flash from Kilz's sticky.

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree lib32nss-mdns

Note: I couldn't access a site that I had used before with Flash, so I reinstalled it.

I saw that the soft link was incorrect and fixed it myself, but I still only get the red X when I try to view Java applets. I have used this script for the last 3 versions of ubuntu and it works great, but with Hardy I cannot get it to work and the only thing I can think of that is different is that I installed Fedoras Iced Tea Java for amd64. Could this be causing problems with the 32bit version of Sun Java??
