I wish to watch Netflix. Messages say need latest Firefox. Downloaded and unzipped the firefox-83.0.tar.bz2 file, which produced a large directory, but no readme, and nothing that looks like I can go further. So what now,
experts?
Don't try to install that, or you will bork your system, as usual. Delete that directory and firefox-83.0.tar.bz2, and don't ever do those things again.
You are on Tumbleweed, you already have the newest Firefox available. So go to the help/about box in firefox and tell us what version you see there.
Probably too late for all that. I tried the version that required updating the system (zypper dup) and got some failures, including elfutils, waterfox, libpoppler, libstorage -ng-ruby (I think that's the problem one).
Trying to start Netflix produces a failure of ruby.ruby2.7. Told me to save logs at /tmp/y2log-udaSxM.tar.xz I did that, but I can't find it.
I have too much to save on this system to reinstall it. If I can't watch Netflix here, I can probably do so in (ech!) Windows. Thanx for trying, guys!

So just remove the repo; zypper rr Mozilla zypper -vvv dup It should ask about de-installation , look at the output and you should see an option like Problem: problem with installed package MozillaFirefox-83.0-lp152.3.2.x86_64 ================== Solution 1: install MozillaFirefox-78.5.0-lp152.2.30.1.x86_64 (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/mozilla --> openSUSE ================== Solution 2: keep obsolete MozillaFirefox-83.0-lp152.3.2.x86_64 Go through and for all the Mozilla ones installed select optio 1 to allow the vendor change.
