[Solved] Unable to Update Packages

Hello everyone. Today I tried to update my packages (pacman -Syu) but this is what I get instead:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: firefox-branded: requires xulrunner=1.9.1.3

I figured that meant that Firefox needed to be updated, so I tried to do so with Yaourt:

      First Submitted: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 06:41:54 +0000

Has anyone had this problem and recovered from it?
