Ray, I have been running FC on an AMD x86_64 box for over a year.  I 
moved from 64 bit Firefox to 32 bit Firefox as well.  I used to use FC's 
supplied Firefox rpm's until about six months ago.  I experimented with 
Firefox's default Linux distro (32 bit) and found it works great!  The 
caveat is; in order to update Firefox (but not add-ons) I have to start 
Firefox as root and check for updates.  At this point, I am running 
Firefox 2.0.0.1 with no problems!
