Several of the latest ondemand media sites, esp from comcast always require that I reboot in 32 bit mode, but I am unable to locate a preference setting to force this before hand.

I am trying to use the garmin plug in to download stuff to my GPS and it has to start in 32bit mode to do this apparently. This is only a new issue since the upgrade of firefox.
