I believe what a lot of x86_64 users end up doing is removing the 64-bit firefox and installing the 32-bit version.
You have to manually create a repo file that points to i386 base and i386 update. You then run
yum remove firefox yum install firefox.i386
or something like that - and it will pull in 32-bit firefox with al the 32-bit dependencies.
I've not tried it myself.

You don't have to change any repo files; in FC5, just install yumex from extras. Then, on the repos tab in yumex, select "Force i386 architecture" and it will use the -i386 repo files that are present. I give pirut and pup a fair trial but I use yumex to do stuff like this, it is very good at it. :) -Dan
