Aha, now lets see if that works...

Yup, that did it.  Why doesn't reals rpm installer do that he asks,

was also installed by their installer.

Both firefox and mozilla have never been installed by rpms here, since 
the rpms versions are usually about 3 to 8 releases behind.

Many thanks David, I appreciate the help.
