You should also try to do this - remove webkitgtk and yelp packages and add
firefox, because that's what the web based installer should/will use in the
end - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2142779. We already
had a meeting with Anaconda dev and told him to use Firefox instead of
WebKitGTK for the web installer - due to resources that are internally (and
frankly in upstream as well) allocated to WebKitGTK.
