Since the i386 packages in x86_64 multilib distributions are simply the ones from the i386 one, the 32bit binaries would have to land into /usr/bin. A solution to what you rpopse would be to have x86_64 binaries in [/usr[/local]]/[s]bin64 and have come before the bin dirs in the PATH. But the multilib policy is to simply use i386 packages when the x86_64 binaries don't work. And within Fedora Core's scope (only open source) firefox/x86_64 does indeed work with all plugins. java and flash don't count since they are not OSS. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
