In which case you set up yum to *only* take firefox from Remi's repo,

Right, sure, yes.....explain that to the clueless.

This should be ready for copy&paste. :-) What this does:
* installs remi-release
* copies the [remi] (not [remi-test]) part of remi.repo to remi.repo.new
* enables the repo
* adds the includepkgs directive
* appends the info for [remi-test], disabled by default
* adds the includepkgs directive there too
* moves the result back to remi.repo
Wow....that will *really* help the clueless.
You are joking, right?
