Details

I have code that calls Mac OS X Carbon routines from an extension using js-ctypes. But these libraries don't work from 64-bit code, so when Firefox calls through to them, Firefox crashes. There needs to be a way to prevent this crash, either by preventing these extensions from running or by having a shim to allow calling 32-bit libraries from 64-bit code.
