你好，请问：
1、支持32位的插件和扩展吗？
2、直接拷贝32位的Profiles能用吗？

刚试用了一把，大部分扩展貌似是OK的

Flash视频不行---也许要重装64位版，找到这个： http://bbs.kafan.cn/thread-1379550-1-1.html

32位其实用得也挺好的，64位比32位有什么优势吗？

　　更新下看看

Win7下，32位插件不支持。比如淘宝安全登陆，等等网银安全密码控件插件这些是用不了的。

Flash 64位可以用。

支付宝安全控件，在about:plugins 里面有个 Alipay Security Control 3 (npAliSecCtrl64.dll)

Nightly 下没有用。Waterfox里面能用么？

64位支持32位插件的补丁我放在这托管了
https://github.com/xunxun1982/pcxfirefo ... ugin.patch

我暂时没时间解决这个补丁带来的一些稳定性问题，有兴趣可以根据这个补丁进行改善，望把改进后的补丁发给我

ls是作者?

viewtheard：ls是作者?回到原帖

显然不是，只不过Waterfox的Alex按照我wiki上的教程做的ICC构建：https://code.google.com/p/pcxfirefox/wiki/MozillaBuiltICC
他如果遇到问题也会发邮件给我
