That wasn't specific enough.  You have to cut it down to a specific 
package instead of a big list and if there is indeed a spurious 
dependency, file it against the package. It is important to confirm with 
reqoquery and ldd instead of yum remove. If Firefox has a unnecessary 
dependency, then filing a bug report against it would make sense but it 
has to be demonstrated first.
