[K12OSN] Re: acrobat reader plugin crashing firefox x86_64

[Peter Hartmann]

Hey All,
I had posted something about this before but I think maybe now I have
more specific questions that with your help may get answered.   I'm
running centos x86_64. I know there aren't 64 bit plugins yet so I did
"yum remove firefox" and "yum install firefox.i386".
BUT, the Acrobat reader plugin makes the browser *poof* out.  By
running "firefox -profilemanager" in a terminal I get more info on the
problem.

  firefox -profilemanager
UA: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.7.10)
Gecko/20050910 CentOS/1.0.6-1.4.2.centos4.k12ltsp.4.2.1EL
Firefox/1.0.6:, extra:  Firefox/1.0.6
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/run-mozilla.sh: line 159: 11088 Segmentation
fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Notice that the UA (I learned that's user agent) is incorrect.  When I
look at that line in run-mozilla.sh I've found that it's supposed to
quit if $MOZ_PROGRAM (which is mozilla-bin) is not executable.  Well
as it turns out the only  mozilla-bin on my system is in
/usr/lib64/mozilla-1.7.10.   #1 Why is that still there if I removed
the 64bit firefox? #2  Why  don't I have a mozilla-bin in
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.10 since I installed firefox.i386?  #3 How would
you go about fixing this?

Thanks a bunch!
Peter
