Choose 32bit instead of 64bit with the installer
is there some way I can make the installer choose 32 bit, it keeps wanting to install 64 bit on my system, but due to lack of compatibly with some addons I would rather use the 32bit version
Re: Choose 32bit instead of 64bit with the installer
I guess what I'm asking is can that option be added to the installer
Re: Choose 32bit instead of 64bit with the installer
That'd require me to do some roundabout things to detect ia32-libs, so no. The installer was never meant to serve edge cases like this.
However, fetching the PM tarball and extracting it, and running the palemoon file inside it works as well.
