Actually when Firefox discovers that the plugin is 32 Bit it asks the user
to restart in 32 Bit mode, which then after the reboot leads to the crash
previously described. However, then another idea came across: When I check
the plugin binary regarding the required libs with otool -L trivial I get:


localhost:MacOS soulalex$ otool -L trivial
trivial:
trivial (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Carbon
(compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 152.0.0)
QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui (compatibility version 4.7.0, current
version 4.7.4)
QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore (compatibility version 4.7.0, current
version 4.7.4)
/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version
7.9.0)
/usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
830.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
125.2.11)
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 44.0.0)
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Applic
ationServices (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 38.0.0)


If I compare this to Qt apps I built on MAC the distribution binaries show
this:


@executable_path/../Frameworks/QtScript.framework/Versions/4/QtScript
(compatibility version 4.8.0, current version 4.8.1)
@executable_path/../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore
(compatibility version 4.8.0, current version 4.8.1)
etc...

So -- I actually think that the Qt libs are not discovered ! What I
consider doing is this:

Creating a Framworks folder in the Contents-directory, copying the
required Frameworks into it and changing the path in which the binary
looks for.

Am I mistaken or should I go for it ? If yes, how can I finally change the
search path of the binary ?

Yes and now I copied it into the plugin folder and finally I can launch
it. However, the result is the same as it is on MAC, so I guess this could
also be a lib problem.
