You have bigger problems than firefox if you can not use some of the
basic commands such as rm.
Why don't you start by telling everyone exactly how rm or rmdir is not
working? Give the full command line with the error message that it
reports.
Also how did you install firefox the first time? If you installed it
via rpm or yum you would not use rm to remove it.
After getting the first problem sorted out then you can provide
information on how you tried to upgrade firefox. Be sure to provide
specific commands lines and versions so we have some idea of what may
have happened and can suggest how to extricate yourself from your mess.
