Hello,
Mozilla announces several security fixes on 13th April 2006, but there's no update of it in Online update, why?
There's only a rpm here http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/firefox/
I'm not sure what Novell's policy is in this. I notice I've not had an update to FF for a long time. In fact, I'm still on 1.0.x on my laptop. On my work desktop (XP), I'm on 1.5 and it auto-updated to 1.5.0.2 on Friday. You can see the 1.5.0.2 directory tree there with a 4/17/06 date. I doubt the security enhancements will make it into the 1.0.x versions since they're now "old" and Mozilla doesn't - AFAIK - put security tweaks into older versions. Rather, they simply upgrade the whole lot. Looking at some RPM repositories, I don't see any 1.5.0.2 RPM files for SUSE/SuSE out there yet. Maybe you could make one? :) -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.livebeans.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

(The first time 'round, select the file with the installer; next time 'round grab the 'plain vanilla' version.) For all the steps on what you need to do, go back about 3 years in this forum's archives and find my step-by-step instructions on how to install a new [nightly] update of FF (or TB - the steps are the same).

Kai -- the link the OP provided has a 1.5.02 rpm --- at least for SUSE10. I dowloaded and installed it with success, and am using it now. http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/firefox/ http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/firefox/1.5.0.2/10.0-i386/ Peter
