I think I'll have to do a combination of yum search, yum list, and possibly rpmfind.net to get the packages I need. I just wish it were easier to use yum to find what I want without having to do so much!
Thanx for the response...

Maybe I have a (dirty) solution in mind: you can grab the firefox i386 RPM from a mirror, like http://fedora.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/fedora/linux/updates/9/i386/firefox-3.0...
and then yum localinstall /path/to/firefox-3.0.1-1.fc9.i386, it will try to resolve dependencies automatically. I don't really know if it will work, but if you really, really want a 32-bit firefox maybe you can try and pray $DEITY that it work :P

Actually, I had this working perfectly before I reformatted my system using the Firefox that I downloaded from Mozilla's website, I just couldn't remember how I resolved the dependencies through yum to get the i386 libraries that I needed. Plus I like running the Mozilla original Firefox instead of the Fedora rolled Firefox, at least I feel I have a little more control of the settings and what not. I also don't mind doing some manual dependency hunting, it reminds me of the old days...[as sadistic as that sounds].
heh...$DEITY...that never gets old. :^)

For any that are interested, I installed the following i386 packages on 64-Bit F9 to get Firefox 32-Bit from the Mozilla web site to work:
yum install bug-buddy.i386 libXt.i386 gtk-nodoka-engine.i386
There were a lot of dependencies that were installed with bug-buddy [probably the majority of what I needed anyway].
Hope this helps someone out there.
