That's why you're supposed to enable his repository and simply "yum update" 
or "yum update firefox", not just fetch the RPM. Or you can fetch the rebuilt 
versions of the packages with the "gecko dependency issues" by hand, he 
provides a list of rebuilt RPMs with download links in the newsitem for a 
reason.

And certainly dragged in a few packages from development, the exact same ones 
that you were supposed to get from Rémi, but in the development/Rawhide version 
instead of the "FC6 version rebuilt for Firefox 2". Unless yum is leaving you 
with broken dependencies (which would be a serious bug in yum), there's no way 
updating Firefox from Rawhide can require you to update less packages than 
updating it from Rémi's repository does.
