Firefox 1.5, Flash and Java in amd64 Ubuntu Breezy installations
You can run Flash and Java plugins in AMD64 bits computers with Firefox, just follow these easy steps :
What we are going to do is install 'Firefox 1.5 32 bits version', using linux32 execution command. (Without the complicated 'chroot' method)
With this method you can't use the original 'Firefox' from Ubuntu and this new installation at the same time, but it doesn't matter because you won't use the default navigator anymore 
, for this reason is a good idea print this manual and shut down Firefox browser.
1 - Install suport for 32 bits applications :
- sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32
2 - Download firefox 32 bits version from www.getfirefox.com
3 - Untar the downloaded file like you allways do in Ubuntu, and go inside the directory :
- cd ~/Desktop/firefox
(or go where the uncompressed file is)
4 - Create a folder for the 32 bits firefox installation, and copy firefox there :
- mkdir /usr/local/firefox32 cp -r -p ./* /usr/local/firefox32/
5 - Prepare pango to use firefox 32 bits :
sudo gedit /etc/pango32/pangorc &
6 - Write the next italic text to this file :
[Pango]
ModuleFiles=/etc/pango32/pango.modules
[PangoX]
AliasFiles=/etc/pango/pangox.aliases
7 - Create the execution file for firefox of 32 bits :
sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/firefox32 &
8 - Write the next italic text to this file :
#!/bin/sh
export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0
export PANGO_RC_FILE=/etc/pango32/pangorc
linux32 /usr/local/firefox32/firefox $@
9 - Make it executable :
- sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/firefox32
10 - Check if your new 32 bits firefox is working :
firefox32 &
(it says warnings but doesn't matter)
11 - To install flash, download linux 32 bits flash player from macromedia and untar it :
12 - Install flash player :
- sudo bash apt-get install gsfonts apt-get install gsfonts-x11 cd ~/Desktop/ linux32 ./install_flash_player_7_linux/flashplayer-installer
(When the installer asks you for the 'navigator path', write : /usr/local/firefox32/)
13 - Check if your new Firefox is working with flash, you can visit : http://wwww.macromedia.com
firefox32 &
14 - To install Java player to run applets, go to http://www.java.com, and download the linux self stracting file for 32 bits linux computers (I was surprised to see than this file works in amd64 bits Breezy installation) :
15 - To install java :
- sudo bash chmod 777 ./jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin
(this file name will depend on the java version you download)
- /jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin
(say yes when asked) mkdir /usr/local/java32 cp -r -p ./jre1.5.0_06/* /usr/local/java32 cd /usr/local/firefox32/plugins/ ln -s /usr/local/java32/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ./
16 - Restart firefox32 and check if java is working :
firefox32 &
17 - Visit : http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
18 - Add an icon at the top panel to start this 'cool' browser :
- Click with the right button at the top panel Choose : Add to panel Choose : Custom application launcher
- Name : firefox32 Generic name : Firefox 1.5 32 bits Comment : Firefox with 'Flash' and 'Java' Command : firefox32 Type : Application Icon : /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-firefox.png
19 - Enjoy the net !
Thanks for your attention, kisses
