SuSE-compatible Firefox RPMs
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/dde14ae637ae8f7452e3a6cf286272fc.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
These days Firefox is being updated pretty often because of security threats. I've been using the tarballs on the Mozilla website, but I'd prefer to use SuSE RPMs if they are available. I'm running 10.0, not 10.1, so I need a source that doesn't work only for the latest release of SuSE. Is there a source for downloading the Firefox RPMs that is no more than a day behind the Mozilla tarballs? Paul

The apt repository always seems to be reasonably current. In your case (assuming 32-bit) check here: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/RPMS.mozilla Carl

This is mirrored from the SUSE projects directory, so if you want to make sure you are using the latest version (or if you have an architecture other than i386), go to ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/projects/mozilla/firefox/1.5.0.6 or a mirror nearer you. The src.rpm is always written to build on as many versions of SUSE as possible incidentally. -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/imin
