I don't know about "safer", but firefox 32 bit plugins work better for me
in genuine 32 bit firefox with no nspluginwrapper. Of course you can get
32 bit firefox in a 64 bit install, but it is less trouble to get it in
a 32 bit install since there isn't a 64 bit version confusing things :-).

Similarly, a 32 bit mplayer (from rpmfusion repos) will be able to access
the windows codecs stashed in /usr/lib/codecs, if you dig up content
for /usr/lib/codecs and you have funky enough multimedia to play that you
need the windows codecs.
