As expected earlier, you've got two versions of Mozilla installed,
probably conflicting in scripts like /usr/bin/mozilla.

One way out of this would be to erase the entire 1.4.1-18 version
(FC1) and then upgrade from your 1.6-8 to the current update release.

  rpm -e  mozilla-nspr-1.4.1-18   \
  mozilla-dom-inspector-1.4.1-18  \
  mozilla-mail-1.4.1-18  \
  mozilla-nss-1.4.1-18  \
  mozilla-1.4.1-18  \
  mozilla-devel-1.4.1-18

Big mistake since two versions of mozilla-devel are installed already. In
that case, yum refuses to update the other packages because the installed
mozilla-devel packages have dependencies.
