A very popular question these days given that Macromedia, Java etc. decide for their consumers that we don't need 64-bit versions of there famous plugins. The obvious solution for me was to install 32 bit firefox, but I am having a lot of trouble. The main procedure I have been following is
here :
When I get to the point of installing firefox.i386 using yum, I get this wonderful message of error dependencies using yum:

Then I thought I could just remove esound with yum, little did I know that would involve taking out the major packages for KDE, a 136 of them to be exact, so I said no to that.
Can somebody help me figure out what is going on with esound.x86_64 and alsa?
