The rpms are from fedora-extras. The rpms install in /usr directories 
while the installer puts the files it uses in /usr/local. Since they are 
located in different directories, they do not clobber each other. I have 
run with netscape, mozilla and seamonkey installations with the packages 
that are contained in rpms without interference. They do use the same 
files under the ~/.mozilla directory and it does not seem to cause any 
problems.

If you are curious or want to confirm the error, you can.

That would present quite a problem. If you will be charged for the 
download, it is not important to test. The installer version is pretty 
much the same minus the SELinux errors.

I used the installer version of mozilla before Red Hat adopted mozilla 
over netscape version 4.x. It was only available via the installer at 
that time. It seems strange that now mozilla is being removed from the 
next fedora version, seamonkey (mozilla continued) is going to fedora 
extras and firefox and thunderbird are now adopted by Red Hat.
