Hello
I have some trouble with Firefox 2 (crashes and is dead slow, 10 sec to alt-tab from another application isn't strange) so I would like to update to Firefox 3. However yast doesn't have firefox 3 yet so I neet to get it from mozilla. They provide me with a tar.bz2 file. Then I hit a brick wall: there is no install, make won't do anything with the files in it and if I add it as a repository there is nothing there. I usually install with yast from the common repositories, so i do not know how to install otherwise.
I know some of you already installed 3, so could you please tell me how to do it? I have some experience in console.
With the tarball you can just unpack it. It will create a directory called "firefox" where you unpacked it, and in there you will have a script called "firefox" which you can run to start the browser
But there are rpms available as well:
For 10.3 you can use
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_10.3/
as a repository for it
For 11.0, just run an online update to get the final version

When you install Firefox 3.0 from this repo, how are ongoing security updates handled? Does Yast and YOU push out updates, or we one check the repo manually from time to time for updates?
