No, kdebase is not already installed. From the system in question:

On a number of my workstations, firefox 3.6.4 installs without
unexpected dependencies. But on about half, it seems to want to
pull in
about 100M worth of seemingly extraneous stuff. (This is just with a
"yum update firefox" on the command line.) As not all of the
systems in
the department have exactly the same software load, there may be some
set of packages that triggers the problem. Anyway, I'll open a bug
report soon with the details ... which may only be interesting to a
small subset of RHEL users!
Interesting that it's not consistent. On the systems that are
affected
I suspect you've already run the normal "yum clean all" and tried
again,
but if not, might be worth it before opening a bug.
Good luck, sounds like a weird one.

I've encountered the something similar to the OP. In my case the
java-1.6.0-sun-plugin has a requirement for /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
which is being satifisfied by kdebase.
That puzzles me.
Out of curiosity, what does
rpm -qf /usr/lib/mozilla
and/or if applicatble
rpm -qf /usr/lib64/mozilla
return as package owner of those directories?
