That's one way of doing it.
I would suggest the following:
add:
exclude = firefox thunderbird xulrunner
to base/updates, followed by
priority = 1
and then in remi repo
priority = 10
and finally,
yum install yum-priorities*
This should keep those pesky unwanted base-overwriting packages out
unless you specifically want them :-) You should do the same with other
repositories.
Just my 2 pence.
