Hmmm, maybe I just located the problem?

[root at moe ~]# rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\t%{arch}\n' 'firefox*'
firefox i386
firefox x86_64

I've seen where there are 'issues' with the x86_64 version. Now to 
decide what to do about it.

I know this is a dumb question, but how can one be married 'n.5' times? :-)

Thanks,
