How do I get Firefox to open in 32-bit mode every time?

Often, I will navigate to a site or page within a site and I get the message "restart in 32-bit mode." This is frustrating because once restarted, I'm taken to my browser homepage. I then am required to re-navigate back to where I was when I got the message to restart, sometimes deep with a site.

You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get those page back.

Are you restarting this way?

  1. Close Firefox
  2. Open the Applications folder in Finder
  3. Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
  4. Select "Get Info"
  5. Select "Open in 32-bit mode"
  6. Close the "Firefox Info" window
  7. Restart Firefox
