Right now mozilla lists the plugin in about:plugin but ist can´t use them. (testet with the macromedia flashplugin). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I'm pretty sure running 32bit code in a 64bit code's process is not a supported scenario.

I would second this but I've heard that Konqueror can handle this. Don't ask me how.
IIRC Konqueror runs plugins out of process, so that's how they can deal. This will not be fixed in Mozilla. If you want flash, download a 32-bit version of Firefox and run with that instead.
