Comment 2 for bug 62698

It is rather common for use 64bit guys to install the 32bit versions of particular packages. Firefox is one. The reason is: a lot of plugins (flash especially) simply do not exist in 64 bits. Without these plugins a lot of the web ceases to exist...

Installing 32bit firefox went off without a hitch in dapper 64bit so I assumed there wouldn't be a problem in edgy.
