   I didn't use the repository for firefox, I downloaded it from mozilla.com   
   directly, but 32bit apps do work :)   
      
   I'm not sure if it is possible (I imagine it would be) to install from the   
   32bit repositories.   
      
   As I said however, the *only* app I didn't use the 64bit repository for   
   was firefox (because of flash)
