this is a dream. This also need that the application is able to deal
with the fact that it has configuration for the 32 and 64 bits version
coexisting cleanly.
True. Did I say that it would be trivial?
Or even a short-term solution?
given the crap that is firefox configuration, you won't be able to have
different lists of plugins for the 32 and 64 bits versions at the same
time.
Firefox was just an example.
