[Bug 355476] Re: 32-bit firefox should be included in AMD64 (x86-64) distribution

 

Moving to firefox source now.  This is in theory possible with multiarch
someday, but we're not there yet.

** Package changed: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) => firefox (Ubuntu)

** Tags added: multiarch

Title:
  32-bit firefox should be included in AMD64 (x86-64) distribution

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  There are several reasons to do this - first and foremost for 32-bit plugin compatibility and without using the quirky nspluginwrapper, and there are still some other rough edges including some java issues.  32-bit version also uses less memory .
   
  Even the M$ includes 32-bit IE in their "x64" systems ;)
