Natively... AFAIK, I see two approaches: 1/ Firefox can be downloaded from Mozilla site (and Mozilla does not provide a 64-bit version for their browser, only 32-bit binaries). Once downloaded, no need to install anything, just click and run. Then, you can download the flash plugin (32 bits) and store it under Firefox plugins folder. 2/ Installing Firefox/Iceweasel standalone in a concrete directory so it gets no messed with the 64-bits installation and put there the 32-bits plugins. In fact, IIRC, the second option was the most used when no flash nor java plugin was available natively for 64 bits systems. And last, there is the option you already mentioned, making a chroot environment and run it from there :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
