Thanks Sebastian. I'll try it.

Really I need to go look for a Wiki page for doing this on 64-bit
Gentoo . This machine has been running 64-bit for at least 2 years and
this hasn't been important up until now so I'm in need of a solution
that is really equivalent to what my wife and son have on their 32-bit
Gentoo machines.

For a 32-bit plugin must I run a 32-bit version of Firefox? (I.e. - I
guess firefox-bin, correct?)

If the answer is yes then, if you know, what is the process of getting
Flash running in the same browser? Any problems? There used to be
IIRC.

Basically, can any browser, preferably Firefox, be made functionally
equivalent in terms of all web-based multimedia (Java, Flash, playing
audio and video files, etc.) with the same browser running on Gentoo
32-bit?

Thanks!
