Use 

  yum upgrade mozilla*

instead of

  yum update mozilla*

The upstream vendor has replaced mozilla with seamonkey.  seamonkey 
obsoletes mozilla.  In order for yum to see this it has to look at the 
obsoletes, this does not happen with the "yum update".  Obsoletes are only 
looked at when one does a 

  yum upgrade
