I don't think there is much value to end-users to have a --32 or --64 
switch, because command line is NOT how you should expect users to 
launch firefox.  It wouldn't hurt to have the option though.

Also keep in mind that due to xremote, you CAN'T run both 32bit and 
64bit browsers at the same time without making further modifications to 
firefox to handle it.

In any case, merging our patches would be a moot point, because it wont 
be accepted into Fedora.
