Firefox 32bit in Arch64
I followed the wiki page to setup firefox on my 64 bit arch machine. But "pacman -S firefox" throws
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package firefox-25.0-1-i686 does not have a valid architecture
I have checked the pacman.conf file and it has "Architecture = i686". Am i missing something?

Re: Firefox 32bit in Arch64
Why in the world do you want the 32bit version? It's going to be much more complicated than just installing from the repos.

Re: Firefox 32bit in Arch64
Need to get Juniper client working on my linux box. I got it working in my previous ubuntu(13.04) by first getting ia32-libs. Then extract of 32bit sun Jdk and 32bit Firefox(with plugin link to libnpjp2.so). Trying to get my arch box working with the vpn client before replacing the ubuntu machine.

Re: Firefox 32bit in Arch64
Unfortunately that jnc64 does not work for me 
.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Juniper_VPN
(NOTE: In some cases, depending on your corporate policy configuration, you _must_ login through the browser. If this is the case, command-line tools (jnc, junipernc) will not work.)
I will give it another shot though.

Re: Firefox 32bit in Arch64
Yeh... well as expected having a script wrapper wont work as my vpn uses a 2 step authentication process and the second step involves passing the sms password to login to the website.

Re: Firefox 32bit in Arch64
You can't simply install a 32 bit package in a 64 bit systen and expect it to work, it needs to be compiled using multilib libraries. Use bin32-firefox from AUR

Re: Firefox 32bit in Arch64
Amit,
I just spent 2 days trying to get juniper VPN working in 64 bit arch, and I couldn't get jnc64 working either. I eventually got it working using MadScientist's msjnc script with a little tinkering, and I updated the wiki with my findings. Take a look:
