I notice very recently that firefox stop showing me printers in the print dialog. A bit of sleuthing and I discover that my firefox "upgraded" itself from my ver. 13 64 bit to a 13.0.1 32 bit. Everything worked fine except that it was not happy with the libraries that were used to deal with printers.

Everyone who had similar problems (all the way back to firefox 3) solved the problem by installed the 32 bit libs. To hell with that! I wanted a 64 bit firefox.

And that took some more looking around. If you just use the download button for firefox, it doesn't even bother to check for the bit size, it just hands back 32 bit. Sigh.

With each new version, it is less usable in general and more hassle. The have crossed the knew in the curve. I know had firefox more than I had google chrome.
