Problem using Hotmail in Firefox, when I reply to an email, a message says I need to restart with a 32-bit plug in. Have done this, problem not solved.
When I press Reply to a message in Hotmail, a yellow bar appears saying I need to restart with a 32-bit plug in. I tried this, but the problem still occurs.

That is a problem with Silverlight
On a Mac, Firefox 4 is a 64 bit application.
Not all plugins support 64 bit and if not then you need to start Firefox in 32 bit mode to use that plugin.
- Close Firefox
- Start the Finder and open the Applications folder
- Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
- Select "Get Info"
- Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
- Close the "Firefox Info" window
- Restart Firefox
It appears there is an update to Silverlight for the Mac which works with 64-bit Firefox. I got the warning from Netflix after upgrading from FF 3.6.18 to 4.0.1 and immediately to 5.0 yesterday. Used Firefox's built-in plugin update checker (under Tools > Add-Ons) and got the latest Silverlight from Microsoft, shut down Firefox 5 and installed it. Now it works fine and Firefox is in 64-bit mode.
