SuSE ships both the 32 and 64 bit versions of the browser on x86-64 precisely for this problem, which I'm pretty sure we do as well.




No, we don't.



Why not? We used to at some point in the not-too-distant past or my memory is failing me at my old age. :-(



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.

I am running 32-bit firefox on fc4 x86_64 without any problems.
When there is a security update I just grab it from the i386 tree.
