CentOS (Like RHEL and Fedora) is dual-arch - it installs both the 32bit and 64bit versions of most applications. You'll need to start the -32bit- version of firefox. In-order to do it, you'll have to install the firefox-32 package (yum install firefox-32) and start the 32bit firefox by using the firefox-32 binary. > The best workaround I have found is to install the 32 bit firefox > instead and then all the plugins work fine.

You may have to use the 32bit versions of xine/mplayer to view certain Windows-only-encoders, but other then that, nope. > > Thanks, > -tom - Gilboa ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
