With the tarball you can just unpack it. It will create a directory called 
"firefox" where you unpacked it, and in there you will have a script called 
"firefox" which you can run to start the browser

But there are rpms available as well:

For 10.3 you can use

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_10.3/

as a repository for it

For 11.0, just run an online update to get the final version
