A recent update asked to remove firefox (55.0.1-1.fc26), and when I followed

I ended with the old version 54.0-2.fc26 installed.
Attempting to upgrade to the latest goes nowhere (see below).
I found a redhat bugzilla regarding an unwise decision to force an unnecessary
dependency
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1484345
mentioning there is a new package (firefox-55.0.2-3), but it is not showing up.
Anyone knows what is going on with this?
Firefox is the most 'net facing application here and I need to have the latest
version installed.
TIA

If you don't need it, or can do without it for a while, do a "dnf erase
nspr-devel"
and then update firefox.
[egreshko@acer ~]$ rpm -q firefox
firefox-55.0.2-2.fc26.x86_64
[egreshko@acer ~]$ rpm -q nspr-devel
package nspr-devel is not installed
Thanks. Tried this already but was not confident that it was safe to do:
$ sudo dnf erase nspr-devel
