I believe the most immediate item of concern is that Firefox now uses code
written in Rust, so you'll be limited to platforms that the Rust compiler
generates code for, and I don't know if anyone is bothering to do 32-bit code
generation for Solaris/illumos in Rust.

Of course, with the elimination of Netscape plugin support, there's little
reason to still use a 32-bit version of Firefox.
