Check what versions of firefox you now have installed:

rpm -q firefox

When I hit this, I found I had 3 separate versions in the RPM db (due to
earlier update failures because of the xulrunner directory-to-symlink
change which has already been discussed at length on this list).

Remove all of these packages - rpm -e or yum remove should work fine,
although you may need to use --noscripts here as one of the package
triggers was failing (using rm instead of rm -f to delete a file that
did not exist) for me.

Then re-install xulrunner making sure that it completed correctly
without any cpio errors and then you can re-install firefox.

Regards,
Bryn.
