My problem was:

open("/usr/share/fonts/default/n021003l.pfb", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
unlink("/home/dcantrel/.mozilla/firefox/mjlbhd2d.default/lock") = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGSEGV, {SIG_DFL}, NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [SEGV], NULL, 8) = 0
tgkill(3398, 3398, SIGSEGV)             = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Process 3398 detached


I added the missing symlink for n021003l.pfb and firefox came right up.
Most likely unrelated to the x86-64 problem.  Why the font symlinks were
incorrect, I don't know.
