Thanks. This seems to be just the kind of intormation I need. The system will be running stable, or testing, so the question becomes: will these iceweasel vs flash problems impede iceweasel's transition to testing. My guess is that maybe it won't. But it looks like 32-bit for normal use is my way to go; sticking 64-bit as a dual-boot might help test when it's really ready.
