[gentoo-user] firefox-bin can't see the web but firefox 64-bit and konqueror does.

[Cocoy Dayao]

hi everyone.

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.

So my question is... what's wrong?  Am i missing something?

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.

thanks and cheers,

First guess, -bin is using IPv6, check about:config

Install nspluginwrapper, which makes 32 bit plugins work with a 64 bit
browser.

If you catch an exploding manhole cover, you can keep it.
