On x86-64, it's easier just to install the couple of RPMs from x86 for Firefox, 
and then launching Firefox with the 'setarch' environment.  E.g.,
  $ setarch i386 firefox &

Remember, Firefox x86 is just installed under /usr/lib/ while Firefox x86-64 
installed under /usr/lib64.  Instead of symlinks, install the appropriate 
packages, they should not conflict.


I documented how to do this with Fedora x86-64 here:

I've also done it for EL as well.  It's none-too-difficult to do, especially if 
you have a RHN Satellite Server custom channel, or local YUM repositories.

How about somehow redirecting /usr/lib -> /usr/lib64 just for Firefox? 
like chrooted alias or something like that? This is just an brainstorm, 
I like rpms more then anything!
