Install the "firefox-32" package from Extras:
Description :
Alternate Launcher for 32bit Firefox on Multilib Systems
If you have both 32bit and 64bit Firefox installed, the standard
/usr/bin/firefox launcher will run only the 64bit version. This
launcher allows you to choose to run the 32bit browser by running
/usr/bin/firefox-32. Please be sure that all Firefox instances
are closed before running this launcher.
