Same experience here. Netscape also shared the ~/.mozilla directory 
without destroying anything from one browser to another in the family of 
browsers.

The 255 error is a common SELinux problem that I experienced in 
development to a large degree. I usually apply updates only after 
putting SELinux into permissive mode before proceeding with upgrades.
with the 255 error, it usually leaves two versions of a program within 
the rpm database.

Either with rpm packaged versions or with the installer version, I 
prefer the suite over firefox/thunderbird. Unless some better 
browser/mailer/HTML editor suiter comes along, so will I.

I see below that there was an FC4 version that you installed. I was not 
sure if a version in rpm packaging was made for the version of Fedora.
