It seems FC2 installs stuff for both i386 & x86_64. It your case below 
you wanted to install the i386 version of firefox. This depends on the 
i386 libs and not the x86_64 libs.

These are the lib64 version not the lib32 (i386) version. I would use 
a variation of the rpm command below when querying.

rpm -q --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n"
