I noticed that a fresh install of x86_64 FC6 resulted in

I would like to configure my machine to default to the
i386 version of firefox and am wondering if there is
an approved mechanism to setting this (since FC6 went
out of its way to preinstall the i386 binaries on
x86_64)?
Install the "firefox-32" package from Extras:
Description :
Alternate Launcher for 32bit Firefox on Multilib Systems
If you have both 32bit and 64bit Firefox installed, the standard
/usr/bin/firefox launcher will run only the 64bit version. This
launcher allows you to choose to run the 32bit browser by running
/usr/bin/firefox-32. Please be sure that all Firefox instances
are closed before running this launcher.
