Something pulls in an older version of xulrunner.i386 probably to
resolve dependencies in nspluginwrapper. Version 1.1.0-3 was not
supposed to do that anymore but an update for nspluginwrapper.i386
is conspiciously missing on your list so you are likely left with
an older one. All other i386 stuff is then added to that list
due to dependencies.
Just a guess but you may check it if you will look closer at what
yum tells you.
I'm seeing the same issue but I don't have nspluginwrapper installed.
It seems that its xulrunner x86_64 is pulling things in. I've done a
'yum clean all' but it still wants to pull in a heap of i386 packages,
