If you're searching 32-bit Firefox for the plugins (i.e. the Flash plugin) you can always use one of the free plugins avilable (Gnash or swfdec) or the proprietary plugin via nspluginwrapper (you can follow the guide here: http://fedora64.org/solved/browser-solutions/flash ). If you have other uses for 32-bit Firefox, well, then I don know :P Giovanni -- Fedora release 9 (Sulphur) 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.x86_64
