I cannot imagine *any* security advantage of having one web browser
installed instead of 2. Except only if one of them was IE perhaps.
To erase mozilla 'rpm -e mozilla' It will complain that other
packages on system need mozilla. You will need to add each package to
the 'rpm -e mozilla' line.
Another way to remove mozilla is 'yum remove mozilla' it will find and
present the dependant packages and ask if you want them removed too..
Cheers,
Michael
