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

[Kilz]

Ok, I see. Don't know if nspluginwrapper installs in firefox32, or firefox. Please, could you be so kind as to tell me whether or not there's some special procedure to UNinstall both firefox32 and nspluginwrapper? and, in the case I'm interested only in installing the flash plugin, is the best nspluginwrapper? Kind regards.

firefox32 is a deb file. It can be removed by apt and synaptic. nspluginwrapper is a little harder since it installs files all over the place. Some of those are installed in places of your choosing.
If you only wanted flash, no multimedia plugins, no java plugins, nothing else at all, ever. Then nspluginwrapper may be a good option. But its also beta software and will not open all sites or have crashing problems with some sites.

where is no a repository, so we can easly update (firefox 2.0.0.3 to 2.0.0.4 via apt-get upgrade)?
this will help a lot ^_^

How do I update the 2.0.0.3 firefox32 to 2.0.0.4?

The update manager automatically updated the 64-bit version but didn't touch the 32-bit version.

Kilz, is there anything users of your script need to do at our end, or do you have to put out a new deb every time Firefox gets updated? Since the deb isn't contained in a repository, I presume there's no way the update manager will know when there's a new version out.

Just want to lighten the workload for you - if there's anything I need to do or if it should have updated automatically let me know. Thanks.

Edit: I saw ultra2k thought of the same thing at the same time. The update manager for firefox64 must have reminded us both.

Thanks Kilz, very kind of you. I uninstalled both firefox32 and nspluginwrapper (along with nspluginwrapper i-386) through synaptic package manager. I'll try nspluginwrapper alone, I'll tell you whether or not it worked. Thanks again, people like you are needed on the net.

fonts are not the same as the firefox64 version..
firefox32 are sometimes not as good... someone notice that?

To answer those about the repo, no firefox 32 isnt in a repo. I am using the free hosting that comes with my isp, and they dont offer any scripting. But there is unlimited download capability. I simply dont have the funds to pay for a site that would enable me to have a repo. Perhaps a mail list would be useful to tell people about releases. I should have a Firefox 2.0.0.4 deb up today.

All I know is that some themes make the fonts look bad. I think it has to do with the gtkengine the theme uses.
