Update firefox from rawhide. That will sort out the files/dependencies. 
Or just uninstall firefox and install java-1.7.0-icedtea from rawhide. 
You are going to find this problem with a lot of packages in rawhide; 
they used to require firefox, but now they require xulrunner instead.

That should fix it.
