Please see the mozilla piece on the faq
(http://www.linuxtx.org/amd64faq.html) There are issues with the 64bit
mozilla, they are being worked out in the background, but as you cannot run
32bit plugins in 64bit mozilla, FC1 should only ship with 32bit.  On the
preview both are installed, but the FAQ will point you to the fix to
default to 32bit.  As for monitor detection, this is a 64bit issue as a
whole, and probably will not be fixed any time soon.
