Dear All,

As you know, on starting Firefox on x86_64 machines, by default the 64bit version starts. This version does not support lava fully and hence many sites are not displayed properly. How to start the 32 bit Firefox on such systems.

I hae found no way to do it. First of you would have to install the 32 bit version. That is the easy part. But then it does conflict with the 64bit evolution packages. The dependencies for these do not specify the architecture, so for yum, rpm etc the 64 bit versions that are already installed appear to be fine. But the 32 bit firefox does not work with them. Ok, I thought, remove the 64 bit evolution stuff and install the 32 bit versions. That can be done, but it does not work. Some methods are not found. I had also tried to install the 64bit and the 32bit evolution stuff in parallel. That needs some rpm options to achieve that, but also that does not help. So I gave up on this...
