LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/npica.so wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 Does the "32" indicate 32 bit and can that be a problem running on a 64 bit machine?

Yes, you need 64 bit versions of all plugins if you use a 64 bit Firefox version. For Linux there is a 32 bit and a 64 bit version available. Both require the correct versions of a plugin to work properly.

You will have to install a 32 bit Firefox version if you do not have 32 bit versions of plugins. You need to install 32 bit versions of plugins that currently are found as 64 bit versions.

You can find the full version of the current current Firefox release (37.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:

Firefox 31.6.0 ESR:
