How can I check if my browser is 64 or 32 bit

[landoz]

Hi

Just wondering if someone can help me. I am using Safari 5. I would like to run some programmes which needs my browser t be 32 bit?

1. How do I check my browser bit?
2. Can I change my browser bit to 32 on Safari V5?

Thank you for any help you can give on this matter.

ps: i have checked the internet for info but I believe that most of the info was pre Safari 5.

Welcome to Mac Forums
Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor) will show you the 64 bit processes under "kind" when they are running.
As for a 32 bit browser, Firefox.

Here is the link to old FF versions.
Mozilla Firefox 3.5

Quit Safari, if you have it running
Find the Safari application in your Applications folder
Select it, and choose File > Get Info
In the General pane, check the "Open in 32-bit mode" box
