Hello andi_s,

this might be the answer to your question. But just out of curiousity: is there a reason for not using 64bit ffox?

hi,

thanks this solved the problem!
actually it was a real problem, i never recognized before ... firefox did not used my gtk-theme (i noticed this, but never recognized the warnings, as i never started FF from terminal before...) - now it looks much better - thanks!

however, these warnings are left:

Well, yes, I think you should use ff64. I'm using it here with sun java and adobe flash (I sort of do not care for adobe flash being notoriously vulnerable to attacks) without any compatibility libs.

Reasons for ff32-bin would be a shared profile with your dual-boot-windows and the use of a plugin which is incompatible in 32bit vs. 64bit version. There is no such thing for firefox I would be aware of, but it would be theoretically possible (lightning for thunderbird is a bit tricky if you share profiles 32bit win <-> 64bit linux).

ok, thanks - then i will give ff64 a try!

btw: currently i do not care about profile-sharing (i tried this some years ago and it worked, but at the moment i am using only thunderbird-portable on XP) and the ff-plugins are most of the time turned off (check out the prefbar-plugin for FF). i turn them only on, if i need them - so it's quite safe to install them, even if they are vulnerable.

Oh, thanks, I'll give it a try.
