If mplayerplug-in hasn't been updated yet to be in sync with the new Mozilla package, you may need to wait some time for the package maintainers to catch up in their spare time. * In general, be careful with repositories other than Fedora Core Updates, which upgrade packages in Fedora Core. These likely break the dependencies of extra packages or even of packages in Fedora Core itself. I assume you updated Mozilla to >= 1.7.2-0.2.0, so mplayer refuses to install/update, because it wants 1.6 (epoch 37). And probably you no longer have the mplayer from rpm.livna.org "unstable" installed (1.0-0.lvn.13.pre5.2), but a package from a different repository. Hence the dependency of mplayer-gui is broken. rpm --query mozilla 'mplayer*' might give a clue.
