I installed firefox from portage, but I have 2 versions: precompiled and compiled. The problem is that flash plug-in doesn't work in 64 bit mode (I have a amd64) and I must install a 32 bit version to use it. > Firefox isn't looking in /opt/firefox/plugins for its plugins, > apparently, or is unable to use what it finds there.
