I finally got around to installing firefox 64. The /usr/bin/firefox
script is exactly the same for both firefox 32 & firefox 64. To fix
the script to run firefox 32, become root and edit the script file by
commenting out these lines:
    #if [ -x "/usr/lib64/firefox-1.5.0.8/firefox-bin" ]
    #then
    #  MOZ_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib64"
    #fi
Once I did that, firefox 32 seems to run fine.
