It isn't.

Even worse is when the 32bit and 64bit ~/.application file are
incompatible. One should consider that a bug but it has happened.


My suggestion is: Don't do it. If you need the 32bit version for
something then use it for everything. The benefit of 64bit is generaly
negible anyway. No point in having say a 64bit and 32bit mozilla.
