21 that's incorrect!!!! the emul-linux libraries are 32 bit libraries that are
22 to be used with firefox amd64 not firefox-bin for the conversion of 32 bit
23 plugins to 64bit plugins.... or better explained, they're a layer for
24 executing 32bit plugins on 64bit firefox compiled.... that's why they're a
25 dependencies for the nspluginwrapper library....
26 anyway, just use the howto flash9 and java with firefox on amd 64 from
