20 As I've written in Dale's thread, it depends on the version. The
21 currently stable one (10.1.102.64) is 32bit-only. The next higher
22 (10.2.161.23_pre20100927) is also available for amd64. You can just look
23 at the build files. One contains instructions about 64bit versions in
24 the first few lines, the other always downloads an "i386.rpm".

26 Nevertheless, the current stable version works with 64bit Firefox and
27 nspluginwrapper.
