[SOLVED]32 bit firefox on 64 bit arch

I want to use flash but from the output error message it looks as though flash could not be compatible with 64 bit firefox. I would like to know how to get 32bit firefox from the repositories or is there some way to run in compatibility mode with a 32bit option. Thanks.

Flash works fine on Arch64. I'm running it now.

How did you install flash? As I recall, I installed the plugin just with "pacman -S flashplugin" and it works fine.

Yeah at first I didn't know that it was in the repos so what i did was download the .so file from the website and put it in /usr/ mozillia. Then i found it in the repos and did that so should i remove the .so file?

Flash works perfectly fine with 64 bit.

If you are determined to use Firefox 32 bit you can get it from the AUR:

If I could stay away from it that would be good. Like I said in my previous post should i remove the one i downloaded?
