After installation of package firefox-55.0.2-2.fc26, I got the following error while doing dnf update: package firefox-55.0.2-2.fc26.x86_64 conflicts with pkgconfig(nspr) >= 4.16 provided by nspr-devel-4.16.0-1.fc26.x86_64

A Firefox package without this workaround is here (firefox-55.0.2-3): https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=960827
Hello. It may be just my opinion, but it looks to me like that FF 55.0.2-2 makes things much worse than better. My system is up-to-date Fedora 26 ans please see what happens: [root@localhost ~]# dnf distro-sync Last metadata expiration check: 0:02:26 ago on Fri 25 Aug 2017 19:23:51 CEST. Dependencies resolved.

Please fix this problem as this conflict causing downgrade of FF looka to me to be much more serious than the original problem, e.g. Cannot upgrade to firefox-55.0.2-1.

The nspr-devel package is used only to Firefox package and the dependency here was added to make sure we don't build against unreleased nspr package. Unfortunately the nspr was released before I expected which creates such conflict. You can safely install the Firefox and nspr-devel-4.16 - there's no real conflict here. Anyway, updated Firefox package which does not conflict with nspr-devel-4.16 is available here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-6204e0b583
Err, "is used only to Firefox" -> "is used only to build Firefox"
Thanks for the link above. With firefox-55.0.2-3 installed there was no problem to reinstall everything thas has been necessary to remove to allow installation of firefox-55.0.2-2 without using brutal force and breaking od dependencies. dnf install nspr-devel evolution-data-server-devel libgdata-devel liboauth-devel nss-devel nss-pkcs11-devel nss-softokn-devel nss-util-devel webkitgtk4-devel webkitgtk4-jsc-devel So firefox-55.0.2-3 should be probably pushed out to the world?
