Firefox told me it could only run a plugin in 32bit mode. So I agreed. How do I switch back to 64bit mode?
I am on Mac OS X 10.6.7 Firefox 4.0.1. I just don't see a prference anywhere.

- 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
I found this line added to the above instructions which kind of help answer:
If you want to revert to running Firefox 4 in 64-bit mode, then you can use those same instructions to uncheck the 32-bit box.
SO I guess we are to assume that Firefox is automatically running in 64 when it's restarted UNLESS that box is checked.
The thing I don't understand is since I also reverted to 32 bit after Hotmail kept nagging me too, and then reopened Firefox (supposedly in 64 bit), I no longer get the nagging prompt to change BACK to 32.
Who knows what's going on?
You run Firefox in 32 bit mode as long as "Open in 32-bit mode" has a check mark.
You need to remove the check mark if you want to start in 64 bit mode.
