While Red Hat is having fun with 5.2, is there any thought to supplying the
32 bit Firefox on the 64 bit systems as a default install? There is no flash
upgrade and who knows what all else for the 64 bit version, where the 32 bit
version seems well supported. The only path I have found to un-do the 64 bit
and re-do the 32 bit is quite hostile.

Unfortunately we don't fully trust it for production use yet. That is why we
put it in Technology Preview mode for 5.2. If you are doing extensive
testing, please make sure to talk to you Red Hat support contact about that.
We like to hear the feedback.
I also would be interested to know whether running a 32 bit FV guest on 64
bit 5.1 or 5.2 with the PV-on-HVM drivers is a viable alternative?

Thanks a lot for confirming this! It just made my day :-)

I've been using nspluginwrapper:
http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/
which lets you use 32-bit plug-ins in 64-bit environment on RHEL 5
for a long time, with only minor problems with acroread, flash is fine.
In some ways it is easier than using 32-bit firefox since there are
rpm dependencies that make it a mild pain to remove the 64-bit one.
Just a couple of rpm's to install and you are in business.
