Damn Adobe and Sun for not providing 64bit versions of their plugins (Java also doesn't work with firefox-64), and Apple for not providing QuickTime at all. The main difference is that I kept x86_64 version around so that I don't need to remove yelp (which depends on it). This is only possible if you install firefox-32, which provides a convenient way of starting the 32bit version (you will need to modify gnome-panel's applet accordingly, and also preferred browser setting).
