I wish to start Firefox in 32 bit mode. Previously in version 18 this was done by selecting File > Get Info > Open in 32 bit mode > Close Firefox

On a Mac, Firefox 4 versions and later are a 64 bit application (i386/x86_64 universal binary).
If you have plugins that only work in 32 bit mode then you need to start Firefox in 32 bit mode to use such a plugin.

Don't you see "Open in 32-bit mode" ?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.


You can use these steps to start Firefox in 32 bit mode:

  1. Close Firefox
  2. Start the Finder and open the Applications folder
  3. Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
  4. Select "Get Info"
  5. Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
  6. Close the "Firefox Info" window
  7. Restart Firefox
