Why do you need Firefox 17 instead of Firefox 18?

The 32-bit mode is set in Finder. I'm a Windows user, so no personal experience with this, but I have a link for you: How can I set firefox to boot in 32bit mode by default? some media sites always require a reboot. Does that work?

You can use these steps to start Firefox in 32 bit mode:

  1. Close Firefox
  2. Start the Finder and open the Applications folder

  4. Select "Get Info"
  5. Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
