Thanks for your help!
I successfully invoked the 32-bit firefox using
$ iceweasel -a firefox32
from within the chroot while simultaneously running a 64-bit instance.  Flash, 
Java &c. work fine.  So next, I edited the 
script .../usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel (inside the chroot)  so the default 
application ID is now firefox32.  This is what I changed:

#####  WAS  #####
APPLICATION_ID=firefox
#####  NOW  #####
APPLICATION_ID=firefox32
#####  ENDS  #####

Hope someone else finds this useful.
