yum : remove + install problems

Hi All,

I tried to 'ymu remove firefox' but received hereafter errors. 
Now 'yum list installed firefox' indicates wrongly that firefox is already 
installed.
(please see hereafter output).

How to force refresh / rebuild yum database ? Other actions ?
I tried 'yum clean all' but without results.

Thanks,
Bruno
