Is it possible to always boot firefox 4 in 32-bit mode?

Not really a fan of having to reboot firefox into 32-bit mode. Anyway you can set it to always boot in 32-bit mode on a Mac?

Go to Finder -- right click on FireFox in applications folder -- select Get Info -- select "Open in 32 Bit mode".

Checked off the "Open in 32 Bit mode" box, but Firefox still needs to relaunch after opening even though I restarted the application and rebooted the computer. Boo!

there is no option in my "get info" to start in 32 bit mode. There is an option at the top of my browser to "restart in 32 bit mode" which I have consistently done but this does not make a difference, it still doesn't work!
