Apparently


As described in detail here, I am required to run a downlevel version of firefox to support my employer's vendor's VPN plugin (F5 Network Access Plugin, F5NAP). The vendor's docs (scroll to "Linux Operating Systems") say that Firefox 8.x is "Supported by 10.2.1-HF2 build496.40" so I tried installing that first. Installing and running a separate Firefox 8 on my 64-bit LMDE (based on debian testing) was easy, but in both cases (8.0 and 8.0.1) F5NAP failed to install, so I'm guessing my employer is providing F5NAP version < 10.2.1-HF2 build496.40.

So now I'm forced to try to install a Firefox 3.x :-( However, as before, I'm attempting to install on a 64-bit debian, and unfortunately I'm not seeing any 64-bit binaries :-( I scraped the 3.x version numbers from here, then ran this bash scriptlet ... but since this forum's formatter can't handle code with a link in it, access the scriptlet @ http://goo.gl/lPXZi

The results were


   > $ find /tmp/firefox/ -name '*_linux-i686_*' | wc -l
   > 91
   > $ find /tmp/firefox/ -name '*_linux-i686_*' | xargs grep -e 'HTTP/1.[01] [23]..' | wc -l
   > 89
   > $ find /tmp/firefox/ -name '*_linux-x86_64_*' | wc -l
   > 91
   > $ find /tmp/firefox/ -name '*_linux-x86_64_*' | xargs grep -e 'HTTP/1.[01] [23]..' | wc -l
   > 0

So how should I proceed to install a 3.x firefox on a 64-bit linux? Is there another source of x86_64 binaries? Should I install a 32-bit (i686) firefox and then fiddle with its configuration (and if so, how)? Should I compile from source (and if so, which version, and how)?

There are files for 3.6.28 on the FTP server. But which are 32-bit and which are 64-bit I couldn't tell you. ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.28/linux-i686/

@jscher2000: i686 == 32-bit, x86_64 or amd64 == 64-bit. So everything in .../linux-i686/... is presumed 32-bit.

It was not until Firefox 4.0 that there were x86_64 builds of Firefox for Linux and Mac OSX came with both 32/64 bit (64-bit replaced PPC) form Mozilla.

To get x86_64 builds of Firefox 3.6.18 for Linux, it will be you build it yourself, third-party or a package from your Linux distro.
