If you want to install Mozilla 1.2.1 you will break browsing in
Nautilus, as I don't think that version of Mozilla is supported by
Nautilus. But other parts of Nautilus will continue to work if you force
installation. (I believe that Galeon provides a Nautilus view that can
be used as a replacement for the Mozilla view in Nautilus)

Otherwise, in similar situations later you can just name all the
packages you want to upgrade in the same command (in this case "rpm -U
mozilla-1.2.1-0.i386.rpm galeon-1.2.5-2suse73.i386.rpm") but you still
need to force the installation because of Nautilus.
