Learn how to use yum queries or use "repoquery" from yum-utils. Even standard RPM queries point to the problem: rpm --query --whatprovides gecko-libs yum whatprovides gecko-libs repoquery --whatprovides gecko-libs "gecko-libs" is a virtual package provided by the "firefox" package. Due to a firefox update, everything that depends on an older gecko-libs version is being rebuilt, too. It may be that not all updates are complete yet. The new firefox, which provides a new gecko-libs version, breaks the other packages' dependencies. Hence yum refuses to install the updates.
