It's not that I require my browser to be a native 64-bit application. It's just the fact that the browser that comes with the system is, and that I would need to install a 32-bit one manually.

And then I would need to install every library it needs, and use 32-bit plugins for everything. It would end in having two operating systems running in parallel, just because noone at Macromedia cares to type "make".

At least Sun is promising to deliver a 64-bit plugin (64-bit java is already there) as soon as Mozilla publish a reference 64-bit build of their browsers. Currently, there is none, as it is the distro companies that are doing the ports.
