I try to run the installer, but it doesn't except /usr/lib32/firefox32/ as installation path:
I haven't found anyone else with the same problem.

Is there a way to put a Firefox traslation package in this installation? My Firefox32 is in english and I want it in spanish.

I also had problems with the Flash installer not accepting the install path. So this is what i did instead
I also was able to get mplayer plugin working in Firefox32, although I did it a couple of days ago and can't *quite* remember all the steps. If anyone would care to try out my solution and let me know if it works for them...Code:wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz sudo tar -xzvf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz cd /usr/lib32/firefox32/plugins sudo mv ~/install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib32/firefox32/plugins/ sudo mv ~/install_flash_player_9_linux/flashplayer.xpt /usr/lib32/firefox32/plugins/
This is pretty much the same as the mplayer-script, just with a few modifications...
um i can't remember, but i'm pretty sure i got that essential package somewhere else and already had it installed, so I skipped that step myself. after restarting firefox32, I went to apple's movie trailer site, and I noticed that mplayer would load, start pre-caching the video, but then fail to play it. So i right-clicked in the window, went to configure... noticed that the video output had nothing selected for it. Changed it to xv, i think i might've tweaked a few other settings but that was pretty much it, mplayer works right now!Code:mkdir ~/Desktop/install cd ~/Desktop/install/ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs gsfonts alsa-oss mplayer sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk lib32asound2 lib32ncurses5 ia32-libs-sdl sudo wget -c http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/mplayerplug-in/mozilla-mplayer_3.17-1ubuntu1_i386.deb sudo dpkg -x mozilla-mplayer_3.17-1ubuntu1_i386.deb ~/Desktop/install sudo cp ~/Desktop/install/etc/* /etc sudo cp ~/Desktop/install/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/* /usr/lib32/firefox32/plugins sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib32/firefox32/plugins/*.so wget -c http://folk.ntnu.no/grannas/debs/mplayer32_1.0pre7-1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i mplayer32_1.0pre7-1_amd64.deb sudo mv /usr/bin/mplayer /usr/bin/mplayer64 sudo mv /usr/bin/mplayer32 /usr/bin/mplayer wget -c http://www.people.virginia.edu/~drf8f/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20060501.tar.bz2 tar -jxvf essential-20060501.tar.bz2 sudo mkdir /usr/lib/win32 sudo cp essential-20060501/* /usr/lib/win32/ sudo rm -fdr ~/Desktop/install
I do remember fiddling with /usr/bin/gmplayer it seems that this is simple a symbolic link to /usr/bin/mplayer and handles the gui of mplayer in gnome. If you are having problems launching mplayer, simply make sure that after you replace the default mplayer with mplayer32 that this link is still valid.

hi, first of all, a lot of thanks for this script. i think it worked...
but: i have a few questions
after running the script, when i start firefox, everything works fine. Java works, whereas it didn't before. but when i go to "about mozilla firefox", it says " Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); nl; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061208 Firefox/2.0.0.1", while i would expect something with 32 instead of 64. same thing happens when i use "firefox32" in the terminal. so i wonder if i really installed the 32bit version of firefox.
also, when i use the update manager, it says:when i run the command, it wants to install j2re1.4. should i do this? because everything's working fine now and i'm afraid it might effect something. i don't know.Software index is broken
It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first.
thing is, i ran the script a few days ago, then i ran the command "sudo apt-get install -f" and today i noticed the java plugins had disappeared. so when i ran the script again, tha plugins were there again. i'm afraid to lose them when i install the j2re1.4.
i'm sorry if my question seems unclear...
