Can you check which firefox is going to be installed? Use:
apt showpkg MozillaFirefox | less
Look at the first line containing 'Version:'
From which component is firefox installed, it could be from a component
containing 'drpm'. Remove the components containint drpm from
the /etc/sources.list file.
