It'd be interesting to see if this happens on a machine that's native 32-bit, too. I'm not sure if any of those support Lion, however.

This was intentional.  See bug 668953 comment #67.

We won't be able to fix this bug until we drop support for OS X Leopard (10.5).

Do we even want to? Is there a really good reason to be running an application in 32-bit mode *other* than to support some ancient plug-in? That's the only use-case I can think of off the top of my head, and it seems like it might be enough of an edge case at this point that those people could just be told "keep an old version of Firefox around".

If this is really easy to fix, however, then yeah, it's probably worth it. That wasn't the impression I got from your comment in the other bug, though.

Once we drop support for OS X 10.5 the fix will be trivial -- just drop the #ifdef __LP64__ blocks around the relevant code :-)

10.7 is no longer supported.
