You can always remove and reinstall the RPM using DNF, am I missing something?

Speak of the devil... continuing through my email:

From: updates at fedoraproject.org
Subject: Fedora 38 Update: firefox-123.0.1-1.fc38
Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2024 01:23:46 +0000 (UTC)
Name        : firefox
Product     : Fedora 38
Version     : 123.0.1
Release     : 1.fc38

So maybe this was a doh! release and they're already pushing out a
quick fix?  But ... uh... 123.0.1?

#rpm -qi firefox
Name        : firefox
Version     : 123.0
Release     : 2.fc38
Install Date: Sun Mar  3 18:41:11 2024
Source RPM  : firefox-123.0-2.fc38.src.rpm

Huh??  If 123.0.1 was just released, what the heck am I doing with a
123.0.2?  I'm starting to smell a package maintainer mixup, someone
pushing out a beta by accident?

Luckily I still have the release notice for 123.0.2:

I may now be in a situation where dnf will not update the rpm!  It
usually will ignore older rpm files (by version).  Ugh, there might be
some manual dnf/rpm finagling coming my way.

Now I just have to wait a few hours until the latest rpm hits my
mirrors...
