This is disappointing news in that a number of the plugins we need do 
not appear to have x86-64 bit plugins.  However, my previous solution 
(run a full IA-32 Firefox under a x86-64 linux) is no longer properly 
working.  As/if we find workarounds or support for media that requires 
plugins, I will post these back to the list.
