This is happening because in FC3 you installed mozilla from a
third-party source, and that version of mozilla is still "later" than
the official FC4 packages. You can try updating it as follows:
yes, I'm well aware of the potential problems of using third party
sources. Unfortunately there are many useful packages in such sources
that aren't in the "official" sources... Before I update to a newer FC
version I try and remove all third party packages so the system as is
close to official as possible, and reinstall what I need after
upgrading. Seems this time I missed mozilla.
1. Install yum-utils from Fedora Extras:
# yum install yum-utils
2. Download the FC4 versions of the mozilla packages you have installed:
# yumdownloader $(rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n' mozilla\*)
3. Install the FC4 versions of mozilla you just downloaded:
# rpm -Uvh --oldpackage mozilla*.rpm
Hopefully this won't have any further dependency issues.
cheers, the above prescription was what I was searching for - worked a
treat.
