So the family computer at home is my old amd64 running gentoo. mostly
people in the house use it to just check their mail, browse youtube
and play online flash games. i have firefox-bin and firefox 64
installed. it's been running that for years on end. now all of a
sudden, firefox-bin couldn't connect to the internet but firefox 64
and conqueror can. ping, traceroute from the same machine works. i've
check the network settings on -bin, and its configured to point
direct
to the internet as it should be. no proxy in this house. so i'm
pretty
sure network is good.
First guess, -bin is using IPv6, check about:config
yep. it was toggled after all.
Also, is there someway to install flash to run with firefox 64? i've
used google and the wiki says the 32-bit firefox is still the only
one
running for AMD64.
Install nspluginwrapper, which makes 32 bit plugins work with a 64 bit
browser.
i've emerged nspluginwrapper. i won't be using 32-bit firefox anymore.
Thank you! greatly appreciate the help!
