Unfortunately, Macromedia hasn't released a 64-bit Flash plugin yet, and the amd64 architecture is such that it's impossible to have a 64-bit executable load a 32-bit plugin (or vice versa). So, you'll need a 32-bit firefox. You can just unmerge mozilla-firefox and emerge mozilla-firefox-bin. The only problem with this is, it will be difficult to get Java working on the 32-bit firefox (if you get it working, tell me!).

Or you can just use konqueror -- 64-bit konqueror can load 32-bit mozilla plugins just fine ;-)
