Hello all
I need to install 32bit firefox so as I can use webex and desktop sharing via webex for work.
I managed to have this working fine with fedora 14 - 17 but now that I am using 18 I am encountering problems.
The below link details the steps more or less that I follow
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=279656
yum update
setarch i686 yum install firefox
yum reinstall firefox
setarch i686 yum install java-openjdk java-openjdk-plugin
yum reinstall java-openjdk
yum reinstall icedtea-web
setarch i686 yum install libXmu
yum reinstall libXmu
when I run
setarch i686 yum install firefox
I get the following message from yum
When I try and remove some of the packages that are causing conflicts I end up hitting dependency hell.
Is it even possible to install firefox 32bit on fedora 18 ?
Thanks for your help all

Hello All
I have been doing some more googling and there does seem to be an issue with fedora 18 when it comes to errors relating to "file conflicts with file from package fc18.x86_64"
Google earth is a classic example...I can't believe that firefox would be causing the same problem.
Any idea how to resolve
type errors ?
Cheers
