Either select those specific packages individually from the install
screen instead of *just* selecting a package group, or, add them with
Yast2 after you have completed your installation.

You *will* run into problems when you use two or more different means of
installation unless you really know what you are doing, ie:  rpm's and
tar-packages.  Use packages from SUSE and/or SUSE contributors.  Do not
download tar-balls from Mozilla or Firefox, use SUSE packages.  Mixing
the installations leaves your rpm database amiss and you get corruption.

IF you are EXPERT, disregard the previous paragraph and do as you wish,
but you then will have no reason to present package questions here.
