32bits firefox 3 on arch64

Hello,

Today I did a fresh installation because I wanted a 64bits installation of archlinux.
But here is my problem, I downloaded the 32bits firefox3 version from the mozilla website and extracted it. But when I execute ./firefox from the firefox directory I get this message:

./firefox-bin: no such file of directory

Wnat's wrong? I wan't the 32bits version so I can use the flashplayer.
Don't wan't to use gnash. :+

Does someone have a solution for this ?

And yes, firefox-bin does exist.

Compiled firefox 3 myself, and used nspluginwrapper.
Worked for me.

Check out the wiki entry for running apps in a 32bit chroot. That's what I do on my desktop and it works out quite nicely.

Use firefox3-branded from AUR.

If you have yaourt, you can install it without effort.

yaourt -S firefox3-branded

Then, for flash support:

yaourt -S nspluginwrapper nspluginwrapper-flash
