Uninstall the old package (use --nodeps if you have to) then yum install 
xulrunner.

It's really a symptom of the way rpm works: puts files on the file 
system and then cleans up.  The file type changed from directory to 
symlink (so we can make use of system hunspell).  There's no way you can 
simply copy a symlink over a directory the way rpm wants to, so you get 
this.  It only affects users of rawhide at that time and is a one time 
thing.
