Binary plugins are not a problem if you use a 32 bit
firefox. On the other hand, this creates a new problem:
installing a 32 bit firefox ;-)
Hmm, now that I think about it, a few tweaks to the apt/yum
repository might make this pretty easy to do. I won't have
access to my test servers until Monday, I'll send myself a
note to try this next week.
