Read the fine installation notes, which should have been printed after you emerged it: Adobe has released 10.1 in only a 32-bit version and upgrading is required to close a major security vulnerability: http://bugs.gentoo.org/322855 Furthermore, there are stability problems when running 10.1 in a 64-bit browser with nspluginwrapper. The current recommended configuration is to use a 32-bit browser such as www-client/firefox-bin: http://bugs.gentoo.org/324365
