64 bit fedora 10 can no longer run 32 bit firefox.

I have a number of java applets which use native 32bit only libraries, 
so I have to run 32 bit firefox for my desktop to be "useable".
Since the latest update firefox cannot seem to detect the correct 
version of its GRE libs to use:

Install firegfox.i386:

Installed:
  firefox.i386 0:3.0.4-1.fc10

Dependency Installed:
  xulrunner.x86_64 
0:1.9.0.4-1.fc10                                                       
xulrunner.i386 0:1.9.0.14-1.fc10

Complete!

Now run firefox:

bash-3.2$ firefox
Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.4 and 1.9.0.4.

So I can only install and use 64 bit firefox.  Anyone else have this 
problem?
