Hi,

well: having firefox 32 bit, you'll just get all the multimedia users
on you, complaining that the 64bit vlc plugin, or mplayer plugin, or XYZ
plugin is not working anymore... I don't think that's a good
tradeoff...

There are valid alternatives, like totem-browser-plugin, which offers a
better integration than mplayer. Moreover all these users didn't tell a
word about that when the discussion was opened months ago.

I think the way with nspluginwrapper is the way to go, and for Java
push the 1.7 inside, which is rumored to work in 64bit installations...
and have never get tired of asking the proprietary providers if they
would finally like to provide 64bit applications too... I know this
seems to be incredible impossible for some companies (from patching some
source I also know why)

That's good news. But I would like to be certain of that :-)

I used that site quiet regular myself for a while... can't remember
any problems with it (but I'm also not sure if I ever tried it on the
64bit system)... I'll give it a try this evening.. just to be sure...

Thanks. It stopped working recently for me. I don't know if it's related
to the latest firefox patch or something like that. The result however
is that on certain sites (google finance, some newspaper, ...) I see a
white rectangle instead of the movie :(

With kind regards,
Alberto
