SOLVED: installing firefox-3.6.28 on 64-bit debian multiarch -> "firefox-bin: not found"
summary: I must run a firefox-3.x to telework, and I run debian at home. I previously had firefox-3.6.28 installed and running on an up-to-date debian, but mistakenly destroyed that install. I have reinstalled the OS, and reinstalled firefox-3.6.28, but it will not run:
$ /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox -no-remote -ProfileManager & > [1] 8297 > $ /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/run-mozilla.sh: 143: exec: /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin: not found
details:
As detailed in a previous question
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/931873
my workplace forces me to run a firefox-3.x in order to install a plugin (F5NAP) that provides remote access. (While the question above suggests that a firefox-8.x would also be an option, the latter is not in fact compatible with my workplace's servers' configuration.) I previously was able to do this first ~2 years ago, as indicated in the question above, on a 64-bit PC with debian=wheezy/sid (distro=LMDE==Linux Mint Debian Edition).
About a month ago, that older PC developed severe problems, so I began to setup a newer PC, which must also run the VPN, and therefore firefox-3.6.28+F5NAP. The new box is running
$ uname -a Linux box 3.11-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.11.8-1 (2013-11-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: LinuxMint Description: LMDE Cinnamon Edition Release: 1 Codename: debian $ cat /etc/debian_version jessie/sid
Note that the new box is also 64-bit, but (unlike the old box) is running the latest debian with multiarch support
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch
(whereas the old box used package=ia32-libs). I was able to install firefox-3.6.28+F5NAP on the new box as detailed here

Unfortunately I later misconfigured LVM, forcing me to reinstall everything :-( I have LMDE and most applications installed (from APT, with packages currently up-to-date) and everything appears to work (particularly the firefox-28.0 which I am using to ask this question). However this time I'm getting a very different error when I run firefox-3.6.28.
I'm installing and running firefox-3.6.28 with the following bash scriptlet (which is how I installed it previously):
FF_VERSION='3.6.28'
LINUX_VERSION='i686' # since there is no 64-bit build of this version of firefox
EXEC_FN='firefox'
LANG='en-US'
FF_WITH_VERSION="firefox-${FF_VERSION}"
URI="https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/${FF_VERSION}/linux-${LINUX_VERSION}/${LANG}/${FF_WITH_VERSION}.tar.bz2"
BUILD_DIR="/tmp/${FF_WITH_VERSION}"
UNZIP_DIR="${BUILD_DIR}/firefox"
INSTALL_ROOT='/usr/local/share'
INSTALL_OWN='root:staff' # like peers on new LMDE, not 'root:root'
INSTALL_DIR="${INSTALL_ROOT}/${FF_WITH_VERSION}"
EXEC_FP="${INSTALL_DIR}/${EXEC_FN}"
EXEC_ARGS='-no-remote -ProfileManager'
# `tar j` == bzip2
for CMD in \
"mkdir -p ${BUILD_DIR}" \
"sudo mkdir -p ${INSTALL_ROOT}" \
"pushd ${BUILD_DIR}" \
"wget -O - ${URI} | tar xfj -" \
"find | wc -l" \
"popd" \
"sudo mv ${UNZIP_DIR} ${INSTALL_DIR}" \
"sudo chown -R ${INSTALL_OWN} ${INSTALL_DIR}/" \
"du -hs ${INSTALL_DIR}/" \
"ls -alh ${EXEC_FP}" \
"${EXEC_FP} ${EXEC_ARGS} &" \
; do
echo -e "$ ${CMD}"
eval "${CMD}"
done
firefox-3.6.28 appears to install correctly:

but it does not run:

But as noted above, /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin clearly exists, and is in the same directory as /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/run-mozilla.sh , and both have the same permissions. Am I missing something?
If not: how to fix, or further debug, this problem?
Your prompt assistance is appreciated, since I can't telework until I get this fixed :-(

As you may know it was not until Firefox 4.0 that there has been 64-bit Linux Releases of Firefox from Mozilla. Some Linux distros may have built 64-bit Firefox packages before then.
Also note you do not need to use the -no-remote switch when starting with -P or -ProfileManager unless you were trying to say run a secend instance.
@james: "Some Linux distros may have built 64-bit Firefox packages before then."
Alas, I have not seen any 64-bit firefox-3.x for debian.
@james: "you do not need to use the -no-remote switch when starting with -P or -ProfileManager unless you were trying to say run a secend instance."
Correct, but I am trying to run a second instance. I typically run latest available packaged firefox (which for LMDE currently is version=29) for all purposes except the F5NAP (which does not support it). When I need to VPN, I run as separate second instance of firefox-3.6.28+F5NAP (on a separate profile) for the duration of the session. Fortunately the two firefoxes "play well together" as long as they use separate profiles, and as long as the profile for firefox-3.6.28+F5NAP is configured to not auto-update.
