I ran into the same issue, and used --nodeps and --force to install the RPMs. This worked fine for Mozilla 0.9.7 and Galeon 1.0.2 (I also use Galeon for my primary browser). Be aware, however, that Mozilla 0.9.8 has the potential to break Evolution 1.0.2 because of a version conflict with libnspr4. I tried to upgrade, had several problems, and just went back to Mozilla 0.9.7. Even with the errors you (and I) ran into, everything works fine.
