What happens if you just try to "yum remove firefox" and after that is
done do a "yum install firefox"?

Since I remember you saying something about salvaging a half-updated
machine, did you

(1) do "yum distro-sync full",
(2) make sure that /etc/os-release says Fedora 19, and
(3) check that repository definitions under /etc/yum.repos.d/
actually point to Fedora 19 repos?

Also, I vaguely remember that upgrading from F17 to F19 is not exactly
a great idea, and that you'd be better off upgrading to F18 first, and
only after that upgrade to F19. Though I believe it's now obsolete
advice, given that you have already performed the upgrade... ;-)

HTH, :-)
