And as explained in some other replies it's possible (but not easy or intuitive) to install the 32bit version with YaST.
I just download Mozilla's installer, and install to /opt, and just maintain it completely outside of YaST. In over 4 years, I haven't had a problem yet.
I originally started doing that because Mozilla updates weren't propagating into Yast Online Update very quickly (if at all).
Everyone is free to do what he think is best. I'm trying to make the mozilla stuff in openSUSE to be used as smooth as possible. So latest stable stuff is always available in the "mozilla" OBS repository (usually at the very same time as mozilla.com's).
It's not difficult. Normally, I download the latest installer package ...and then, whenever I get around to it, I install it. It takes all of 6 commands: $ su # tar xvzf mozilla_filename_here then I run the installer: # ./seamonkey-installer/seamonkey-installer I normally put each new version into a new directory ie. /opt/seamonkey1.1.9 and then # cd /opt # rm seamonkey # previous symbolic link to previous seamonkey # ln -s seamonkey1.1.9 seamonkey # link now points at latest to copy all accumulated plugins: # cp -i seamonkeyX.Y.Z/plugins/* seamonkey/plugins (when the null plugin comes up, answer no) Then, because I like to have multizilla, i start it as root: # /opt/seamonkey/seamonkey http://multizilla.mozdev.org/ And install it for everyone (i.e. "cancel" = "all users") I wish the multizilla people would figure out how to make it install in for a single, non-root user .
