I do not know if the IA-32 Linux version of this plugin is any better in 
terms of security, but it does work.  For this reason, I run the IA-32 
versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, both current (release 5), by 
installing whatever libraries these applications need, relying upon the 
polymorphic compliance for both the IA-32 and X86-64 model of the Linux 
(RHEL 6) loader as well as the CPU.
