Re: [opensuse] Three different browsers can't access website -- Update and proposed solution
For whatever reason, Opera is now able to access the problematic website, as is Konqueror as well, so whatever its problem was has gone away. Only Firefox remains unable. I am hoping that the problem will now be more tractable. What I want to do now is to remove FF altogether, including the .mozilla directory, and reinstall it from scratch (first backing up e.g. the passwords file, bookmarks, etc). When I entered YaST to delete FF, I see that, besides FF itself, there is also another installed package called "MozillaFirefox-branding-opensuse". What is the function of this package? Is it necessary, or can it be omitted? More puzzling, highlighting this package opens a warning as follows: MozillaFirefox-branding-openSUSE-3.0.3.3.11_x86_64 requires MozillaFirefox
= 3.0.4-4.7, but this requirement cannot be provided.
Firefox here is v3.0.12, which would seem to be enough, according to the notice. Why is it warning me? What is it that I need but can't get? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Remove it too.

As you want to remove FF completely, yes, remove this one too. Who cares what it is really? >:-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
