I have the same problem.. the netscape-flash package can be installed on ~amd64 and installs the plug-in in the common directory for both firefoxs (32 n 64) so when (i'm not sure) the 64bits firefox tries to load a 32bits library it crash. How I workaround it? Well, there is an Firefox extension called 'FlashBlock'[1] so when a page have flash it only shows a play button.. in this way i can press play button in the 32bits firefox and see the flash page, and also avoiding that 64bits firefox crash. I fine with that.. maybe netscape-flash on amd64 must install the plugin (overiding the nsplugins eclass behavior) in the /opt directory only for 32bits flash. Also you want to take a look at bug #82060 [2] [1] http://flashblock.mozdev.org/ [2] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82060 -- What hath Bob wrought? -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
