I have downloaded the 64bit version from the mozilla ftp site and it
does work out of the box. However, no plugins are detected.

I have uncompressed the tar file in /usr/local/firefox, by the way,
but not a huge difference.

Has anyone gotten the 64 bit firefox version to work from mozilla.org
and SL 6.1 with flash/java/etc. ?

TIA,
