Can I write a script to change Firefox to 32 bit when it detects the need for it and switches back when I leave the site?
Sometimes I go to a website and Firefox 4 gives me a yellow bar notice "This site requires a plug-in for 32 bit mode. Click to restart in 32 bit mode."
- 1. Does Firefox then remain in 32 bit until I restart it? Or does it automatically revert to 64 bit when I surf to a different site?
- 2. Does anyone know a hack script to trigger Firefox on appearance of this warning to automatically restart in 32 bit.. and just as importantly, to shift it back to 64 bit upon cruising elsewhere??
Is this asking too much? Sees like a cool improvement to me...

Anyone know if I can manually change it back to 64 bit?
- Close Firefox
- Open the Applications folder in Finder
- 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
