Have you tried placing an entry in /etc/urpmi/skip.list. Example:

/^mozilla-firefox/
# ********** end skip.list *************

Or just place your commands in a file, example, install_firefox,
chmod +x install_firefox. Then you can do a

../install_firefox

I haven't found an rpm. Before you install by hand, remove the installed
version using urpme. That way, it won't "get updated" by urpmi.

And you need to install libnss3 as well, from the 2009.0-repos
