In order for everything to run corectly the 32bit browser runs under linux32. One of the negitives is no firefox icon.

Hi there, first, congratulations for the great howto, everything worked 100%, even for a completely newbie to linux as me.. now, I have a question. I'm using Kubuntu on amd64, the newly installed Firefox 32 bits has an ugly appearance, with some contours on the different parts of the window, very different from the original Firefox 64 that came installed.. how can I fix this? Is it using some different library (GTK for example??).. any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Keko

Nope, the 32bit version this howto/scripts installs dosent replace the firefox already on your system. You can replace it if you want to, but it isnt nessasary.

Sorry , I have been unable to make things as seamless for the Kubuntu version as Ubuntu.

Liferea is in the repositories. You can install it with Synaptic. Take a look here to learn about how to use Synaptic. You will also have to enable the universe repositories.

Hello Kilz, thanks for this detail howto.
However, I am experiencing problem with flash at adobe.com whereby it stayed on top of tab menu that I pointed with mouse. Exact same problem as someone else few pages back. Is there any solution for this already??

I also made launcher for firefox32 on top taskbar - next to e-mail icon (I also got an entry on applications - internet - firefox32 webbrowser
Running firefox 32 is no problem at all. But if I click the icon for firefox 64, it also launched firefox32 and of course java/flash/mplayer are properly displayed as it supposed to be.
Samething happenned if I click applications-internet-firefox webbrowser (i.e original firefox 64). Any idea of what causing this?

EDIT.
I just turned on my computer, strange enough, now all icons launched firefox 64 (V.1.5.0.5). What I installed was firefox32 v 1.5.0.6.
Check the java page & sure enough it could not be displayed properly

That is only because of me. Up untill my posts the creator was more intrested in his traffic and google income and refused to make installers. In fact he is still insisting on a link to a download page and not one to a direct download. I write install scripts, that stipulation makes them impossible. I think I will go on using my own .deb files. Since they are foss, I can.
