One syllable: the 'e' is silent, so you only have one acting vowel :o)

Don't know about anyone else, but here is Aus it's two syllables. 'Fi-yer'. We don't say 'Fyrr' like Americans, so I guess it really depends on the accent.

Hmmmmm. I pronounce it as two. But I'm guessing it should only be one. And I'm not saying it 'properly' :)

It depends on where you're from. When I lived in Texas, I heard some people say, "far." In California, where I'm from, we say "fye ur."

My first instinct was to say it's one syllable, but then when I said the word aloud I realized it's actually a two syllable word. Interesting!

I can't even pronounce it with one syllable. I say fy-er.
