Not if they use the standard suse installation method which is rpm (and of course suse rpm's).
This isn't what he did. I suspected as much from his original description of the problem.
Now if they want to use tar and "make install" that's another issue.
This is what he did.
In the OP's case simply renaming or deleting ./mozilla/firefox might have fixed the problem whereas re-installing would not remove faulty settings in ./mozilla/firefox which remain until removed and/or fixed.
I didn't just write "reinstall"... I said "uninstall Firefox and remove every trace of it from your system and reinstall from a fresh rpm." regards, Carl
