Problem :
Firefox can be startet via Commandline
How can I run an application with command line arguments in Mac OS
Is there an argument to make it start in 32 bit ?
I know i could select it via finder, but thats no option for my problem
I have solved a similar problem for chrome by creating an Automator “Launcher” which start Chrome with deactivated flash, but for that I need to know whether there is a command line argument to set 32bit.
Maybe by changing systems settings by “default” ?
Solution :
arch -i386 /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin should do the trick in Terminal.
You could then pack that into an AppleScript of some kind.
A solution I still have to test
#!/bin/bash
# Check to see if Firefox exists
if
ls -la /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources
then
# Set the architecture preference order to 32-bit first
defaults write /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Info "LSArchitecturePriority" '(i386, "x86_64")'
# Making sure the permissions on the Info.plist are correct
chmod -R 775 /Applications/Firefox.app/
else
echo "Firefox is not installed"
