FF 32b on Bionic 64b?

If yes, methinks either of the first two choices here *might* work.

Which site are you talking about where you can't stream on a 64 box?

All the official 64bit Puppy versions have a 32bit compatibility.sfs, that when loaded, add the needed stuff to run 32bit software.

I can not guess what Puppy version you are using! :shock:
So, no more info until you tell us!
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
