I tries to activate Google MapsGL in FireFox 10.0.2 but was informed that my system did not meet requirements. When I tried it using Google Chrome it worked fine, so the problem seems to be with FireFox. Any ideas? Is this something to do with 32/64 Bit browsers? I dont know how to find out what mine is (Java seems to think its 32-bit but I don't know how to confirm in FireFox)

I've seen those Google help files but they don't seem to answer the question. As I said, if I use Google Chrome, the MapsGL works fine, but if I use FireFox it reports that system requirements are not met. Since the only difference is the use of different browsers, it must be something to do with the browser, not graphics cards, axtive-x etc.
