You don't need to install a 32-bit chroot with Fedora.  Fedora allows installing
the 32-bit libraries and applications alongside the 64-bit ones.  In fact, it is
possible to have both 32-bit and 64-bit Firefox installed at the same time and
make a script to run the 32-bit one.

The easiest way is to setup the i386 versions of the yum repositories.  Then
doing "yum --enablerepo=core-i386 --enablerepo=updates-i386 install
firefox.i386" will install the 32-bit firefox.

I wrote it up a while ago on my blog at
