Sorry, this may be a bit OT.

Some quick links to HOWTOs which should give some ideas how to integrate a vanilla 32 bit Firefox in Ubuntu 64 bit:

[1] http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/AMD64_Firefox32
[2] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435

I roughly followed [1] when I added the vanilla 32 bit Firefox 1.5 to Breezy 64 bit, the upgrade to Dapper (quite some months ago...) and vanilla Firefox 2.0 worked flawlessly. And if someone just wants a working flash plugin in Firefox 64 bit, consider using nspluginwrapper:

[3] http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/
[4] http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all&keywords=nspluginwrapper

Since a package is provided from upstream (Debian Sid) [4], nspluginwrapper should be available in Gutsy 64 bit soon.
