Hi Greg and David, thks for your tips.

AFAICS there's no such a thing as "firefox-32" or anything like it.
Just to make sure I reinstalled firefox.x86_64 alongside with .i386
version, and the only thing I get is /usr/bin/firefox, which is a bash
script that will run 64bit version if it is available:

...
##
## Variables
##
MOZ_ARCH=$(uname -m)
case $MOZ_ARCH in
    x86_64 | ia64 | s390 )
        MOZ_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib64"
        SECONDARY_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib"
        ;;
    * )
        MOZ_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib"
        SECONDARY_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib64"
        ;;
esac

Since "uname -m" returns x86_64, this is the version that's always chosen.

I could of course execute /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.9/firefox-bin
directly, but everytime I upgrade firefox I will have to fix this
reference.

Am I missing something?

Regards,

Andre
