Well I am having an issue with this upgrade.  I have your version of 	
	firefox2-2.0.0.15-1.fc8.remi
	firefox-3.0-1.fc8.remi

Even after having both of these installed, I still get
yum update devhelp
Loading "list-data" plugin
Loading "skip-broken" plugin
Loading "downloadonly" plugin

So I guess there is an issue with the RPM package.

To me it is
