mozilla-firefox-bin fails to start up with a floating point exception, apparently preceeded by a failure in /opt/firefox/libxpcom_compat.so to get version information out of libstdc++.so.5. This binary is sort of critical at this point, because it's the only way to view websites that use flash on the amd64 platform. stderr dump: [Sat Dec 24 <12:42:15>]\>firefox No running windows found Removing /home/fade/.mozilla/firefox/default.a6r/compreg.dat leftover from older firefox Removing /home/fade/.mozilla/firefox/default.a6r/XUL.mfasl leftover from older firefox /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/32/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/firefox/firefox-bin) /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/32/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/firefox/firefox-bin) /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/32/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/firefox/libxpcom_core.so) /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/32/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/firefox/libxpcom_core.so) /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/32/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/firefox/libxpcom_compat.so) /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/32/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/firefox/firefox-bin) /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/32/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/firefox/firefox-bin) /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/32/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/firefox/libxpcom_core.so) /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/32/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/firefox/libxpcom_core.so) /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/32/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/firefox/libxpcom_compat.so) /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 119: 12826 Floating point exception"$mozbin" "$@" firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (136) infiltrator ~ #

this is due to the fact libstdc++-v3 is not installed. Please install and I will correct the deps on the ebuild.
I have just updated the deps. You can use flash with 64bit firefox, look @ http://dev.gentoo.org/herbs for an overlay to a program known as nspluginwrapper.
