Merely installing the 32 bit version doesn't actually make it
run the 32 bit version - the "firefox" shell script always
runs the 64 bit version if it finds it on the system.

There is supposed to be some kind of magic environment variable
you can set to force it to run 32 bit, but I take a different
approach - I edit the /usr/bin/firefox script and change all
"lib64" strings in it to "wubba-wubba-wubba", then it can't
find the "wubba-wubba-wubba" version, so it is willing to
run the 32 bit version instead :-).
