[CentOS] Both archs version rpm are installed during update? - related firefox plugin issues.

[Richard Chapman]

That certainly explains my firefox plugin problem. yum list | grep 
firefox tells me I have both the i386 and x86_64 versions of firefox 
installed - but how do I tell gnome to use the i386 version?

My ignorance never ceases to amaze me...;-)
