Quick Safari/Snow Leopard Tip

If you’re having stupid amounts of trouble with your plugins loading in Safari 4 on Snow Leopard, go to your Finder and open /Applications.  Right-click on the Safari app and choose “Get Info.”  On that screen, you’ll see a checkbox to run the app in 32-bit mode.

Check that.

Restart Safari if it’s open.

Now you’ll find that your plugins magically work.  I guess this whole 64-bit thing has caught developers with their pants down.  Not sure how that happened since they’ve only been talking 64-bit on the Mac and Windows side for years.
