What you should have done was download the Mozilla .src.rpm, and rebuild it. If you had libpng2-devel installed (you might have to install some other -devel .rpm's), it would then require libpng2, not libpng3. Right now the one from Cooker requires libpng3 because that's what it was built against. As you found out, forcing an update from libpng2 to libpng3 is a bad idea... Generally it is best to rebuild anything from Cooker if you want to try it out (unless you're running a scrictly Cooker system to begin with).
