On the i386 platform /lib/libssl.so.4 is provided (as a symlink to 
libssl.so.0.9.7a) by the old openssl097a compat package.

There isn't the i386 version of that package in the x86_64 sl52 tree so it 
can't be installed - well it can but not from the std repos :-)

However, I can't understand why your i386 firefox is wanting that library. 
We have x86_64 boxes running sl52 with firefox.i386 (and no x86_64 
firefox), and they offer a sane looking print dialog.

Nothing in the firefox-3.0.4 i386 rpm *appears* to be linked against that 
version - though I'll admit that I managed to copy libflashsupport.so from 
an older build-box which wanted it...
