The Solaris plugin is a beta of 32bit Flash 10 – Adobe hasn’t made a final release for Solaris yet. There’s actually no 64bit browsers on Solaris, most of the userland is 32bit. Which is eminently sensible on SPARC where 32bit is just as fast as 64bit, but does ignore the performance benefits of 64bit on x86.
