Well, I doubt this is an "approved" method, but I edit 
/usr/bin/firefox at line 40 and change "/usr/lib64..." to 
"/usr/notlib64."  This fools the script into thinking there 
is no 64-bit firefox.  The only problem with this is 
remembering to make the change each time firefox is updated. 
  The line number is from firefox 2.0 from the development 
repo.  It may be different for firefox 1.5.  Just look for 
the lines like these:

if [ -x "/usr/notlib64/firefox-2.0.0.1/firefox-bin" ]
then
   MOZ_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib64"
