Finally fixed it.

It took a wee bit of slash and burn to do it.

rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps xulrunner xulrunner-devel
rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps --noscripts firefox
rm -r /usr/lib/xul*
rm -r /usr/lib64/xul*
yum install xulerunner xulrunner-devel
yum install firefox

But it least it fixed it...
