Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, you may have noticed that some of your apps don’t quite run like they used to. The browser plugins 1Password and Glims were affected, but have since been repaired. If you find yourself running into an application that worked pre-Snow Leopard, but now either doesn’t work or is having some hiccups, try running the program in 32bit mode. Here’s how to do it for Safari:
Ctrl-click on Safari then select Get Info.
Once the Safari information page pops up, you have the option of clicking on run in 32bit.
Check the box, restart Safari and see if your plugin works better. If not, just change the setting back. While this won’t work with most programs, it might be enough to get the feature that was disabled back up and running on your favorite app.
