Hi,
  I'm wondering what the best solutions are right now for a full
featured browser in GentooAMD64?

  I use a number of Investing web sites. Some of them won't even try
to run certain features telling me I'm on an unsupported OS. The ones
that do try to run the features seem to fail in one area or another.
Is it possible to make all 3 of these technologies work in a single
browser on AMD64?

1) Java
2) Flash
3) 32-bit streaming media?

  It seems that if I run firefox-bin I get most Flash and streaming
media, or at least as much as I think I need. However I definitely do
not get Java.

  It seems that if I run firefox compiled for 64-bit then Flash
doesn't work and I don't think all Java does either, or at least on my
system.

  I did for a while try playing with a 32-bit chroot but that was a
lot of work to use and keep up to date. I stopped using it. It's now
out of date and frankly I don't even remember how to start it anymore
but will go back to it if necessary.

  Here is a quick view of what's installed. If it's a question of USE
flags I'll post back more info if needed:
