installing firefox32 into amd64 in xubuntu / ubuntu

Taken from ubuntu forum:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32ncurses5 ia32-libs-sdl ia32-libs-gtk gsfonts gsfonts-x11 linux32

The script installs onto herd4 but the browser and other 32bit applications cant access the internet. This is because of ipv6 support. It is possible to disable ipv6 and everything will work (to me it seems faster to).

for ubuntu

1. gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
2.Comment out this line: alias net-pf-10 ipv6
3.Save the file
4.gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
5.Add this line: blacklist ipv6
6.Save the file and restart your computer

for kubuntu

1.kdesu kate /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
2.Comment out this line: alias net-pf-10 ipv6
3.Save the file
4.kdesu kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
5.Add this line: blacklist ipv6
6.Save the file and restart your computer

You must reboot for changes to take effect.

Then create a calling script (+x)
#!/bin/sh
export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0
export PANGO_RC_FILE=/etc/pango32/pangorc
export GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders.32
linux32 /usr/lib32/firefox32/firefox $@
