I had problems recently on one machine I did an yum update one.  My
mozilla started acting goofy, and wouldn't start.  The window
wouldn't start, the KDE menu bar showed the window, but it wouldn't
open.  Eventually, I got an alert window, that didn't render (it was
just a grey box.  Then Mozilla would die.  I didn't take the time
in order to track it down.  

yum erase mozilla
yum update mozilla

That solved my problem.  I think I also uninstalled a plugin or two,
and re-installed those.  However, I think that was just
happenstance.
