Although 64 bit OSs and hence browsers are (almost) commonplace these days, the same thing cannot be said of their plugin counterparts. To this date there are no 64bit Java and Flash plugins .. rendering a huge proportion of pages on the net inaccessible from a 64 bit browser ..

As of this moment, the popular solution to this problem is to have two browsers. A primary browser (e.g. 64 bit FireFox) and a seconday browser + plugins (32 bit). Opera seems to be a popular choice as the secondary browser since it’s quite easy to get installed and use…

nspluginwrapper is another option. It allows the loading of 32bit plugins on a 64bit browser.
