Re: [opensuse] 32bit firefox--again :(

2) Assuming I have to have a 32bit Firefox, where the heck do I get it,
www.mozilla.org always works. Install it in /opt, and make a link on your desktop pointing at the executable in /opt/firefox or whatever you want to call the directory you put it into. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's where I went, but how do I persuade it to give me the 32 bit version. It keeps auto-recognizing my 64bit machine and trying to give me that version. I follow "other languages and versions" and I still can't choose 32bit Linux, only "linux" and when I get it, the version I get runs as 64bit?

No, that's not the case. mozilla.org only offers 32bit versions of Firefox as official releases. What you see in the Firefox version string is that it recognizes it runs on a x86-64 system but it's still the 32bit version. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.0) is a UA string for a real 64bit version while it should say i586 (x86_64) with a 32bit version.
