Thanks, Axel.

It is not difficult to remove the i386 versions. I have removed some of
them,
but since I think I need firefox 32 for having a working set of proprietary
plugins, a lot of them must remain.

I am trying to install only ATrpms packages this time, and the only conflict
I got so far was with  libmp4v2-1.5.0.1-3.fc6.x86_64.rpm from extras, wich
has been installed first because of some package, and conflicted with
libmp4v2_0-1.25-2.fc6.at.x86_64.rpm. I removed the later using --nodeps and
yours replaced it.
