Okay, I'm assuming you installed the current release from a tarball rather
than from an RPM package. That means you have two mozillas -- one installed
from tarball, and one installed from RPM package.

'gnorpm', 'krpm', or the Red Hat Package Manager (available from the 'start'
menu under 'System Administration') can be used to remove the one installed
from RPM package (the old one). The quickest way, rather than drilling down
through the GUI-based applications, is to do it from the command prompt:

rpm -qa | grep -i mozilla

will give you a list of Mozilla packages. Then you remove them with:

rpm -e [moz-package-1] [moz-package-2] ...

i.e., after the '-e', list the packages belonging to the Mozilla browser in
order to uninstall them.
