As I've written in Dale's thread, it depends on the version. The
currently stable one (10.1.102.64) is 32bit-only. The next higher
(10.2.161.23_pre20100927) is also available for amd64. You can just look
at the build files. One contains instructions about 64bit versions in
the first few lines, the other always downloads an "i386.rpm".

Nevertheless, the current stable version works with 64bit Firefox and
nspluginwrapper.
