Hi, Richard: In order to install Firefox and clear the dependencies, I had to uninstall a few apps. In particular, I uninstalled firefox-devel, devhelp, yelp, and I think there were one or two others. You need to decide whether you can live with this. To decide look at the output of: rpm -qi [package.name] To see if it's something you want or not. As an example, I'm sure dumping firefox-devel will not be a problem--unless you're actually doing development work with firefox 2.
