Thank you for the response. I'm not looking to install the 32-Bit Firefox via yum, because I've already downloaded it from the mozilla website. I'm trying to run the 32-Bit Firefox and it is complaining about missing libraries. I fixed this before by getting the i386 version of the libraries via yum, but I can't remember how I got the relevant gtk related i386 libraries I needed. For example, bugbuddy is one of the dependencies I need, but when I did: yum list *bug*buddy*i386, I didn't get any results back. So, that is why I thought I needed to get the i386 repo information. And I'm running the 32-Bit version of Firefox because there is no 64-Bit version of Flash, and I don't feel like running some type of compatibility mode to get it to work. Does anyone else have any ideas?

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 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
