There are rare problems.

This is a common problem with old RH mozilla installs. Easiest way
to fix it is something like: remove all old mozilla packages, then
issue a "yum install mozilla" to reinstall it, adding install commands
for any others you may need also (the mozilla-* packages). Then
redo your yum update.
This is very rare, in that very few packages cause this kind of problem.
Mozilla is a very common one though. It is caused by bad "requires"
by Red Hat in the older packages...
