Matt,
Thanks -- didn't realize that my mozilla was that far behind the current release. I decided to force a reinstall (rpm -U replacepkgs) of the older version, just to make sure I knew how to solve the problem without upgrading. I'm thinking I must have created the problem by downloading the wrong plugin, so the possibility I might repeat the error made me want a more basic solution.
Problem solved, but would be have been easier to do if YUM had a forced mode like rpm does. Guess you can't have everything!
I did run into a tutorial on adding multi-media plugins to mozilla that is pretty cool, and learned more about configuring YUM in the process:

Thanks again for your help! Richard

after removing the lock file and failing to run, I executed mozilla from a terminal as you suggested and get a "segmentation fault" response. How do I proceed? Thanks!
Richard,
Perform an "strace" run on the mozilla process and file a new Bugzilla report on this, and attach the strace output.
As for an immediate remedy, have you rebooted to clear up any possible stale files that may be causing this? Maybe upgrading to mozilla 1.6.x would fix this issue for you.
