More details are necessary. But you should be able to either erase all
versions of the "mozilla" package and re-install it manually. Ignore
existing package dependencies if necessary.
rpm --erase --allmatches mozilla --nodeps
Then reinstall it with either up2date or rpm.
up2date mozilla
or:
rpm -ivh mozilla...rpm(fetch it from your CDs)
There are other ways how to deal with such a problem. E.g. erasing one
package only from the RPM database and replacing the installed version
with an upgrade. But that would need further details on what your system
looks like currently.
