Yeah, it's pretty sad. For several years, Sun was stubbornly refusing
to release a 64bit version of the browser plugin with their 64 bit
JRE, so many users switched back to 32bit FF on 64bit systems. There
may have been other plugins with the same lameness, but I think all of
the 32/64 confusion with FF can be primarily blamed on Sun. I hope
the OpenJDK becomes mainstream on most distros soon.
