With FC4+, aside from the conflicting /usr/bin/firefox script, it is 
now impossible to even uninstall the 64bit firefox and install the 32bit 
firefox due to the multilib bonoboectomy.  Doing this has been 
problematic in the past when it was possible during FC3, because 
whenever there is another firefox security update, it would blow away 
the 32bit version and install the new 64bit version.
