You misunderstood the message. You have a package called Democracy which
is build against a older version of Firefox while a newer version is
available as an update.
If you want to learn what a package is for you can do yum info
<packagename>. In this case it is a media player and you can remove it
if you don't need it.
# yum remove democracy
# yum update
