The issue is that if I run 64-bit Firefox 4.0b1 then certain plugins, such as Flash, which are 32-bit will not load.
With the OOPP approach it may be useful to include support for allowing 32-bit plugins to run in a 32-bit sub-process when its 64-bit equivalent is not available. I imagine this would be possible with this new architecture?
I am not sure whether we should treat this as a feature request or a bug, so I will let the developers decide. In many ways it is a feature request, but the behaviour may appear as a bug to many general users.
Reproducible: Always
