Which version of SUSE Linux / openSUSE are you using ? How Firefox 2.0.0.2 was installed/updated ? Per system online update ? By first downloading an archive from a non-SUSE site ?

You do not need tpo download software updates manually. There is a functionality which informs about update available online. For details see another reply from my side within this thread ! -- Never give up ! Best regards / Gruß, Reinhard. "Software is like a parachute.

Actually, that's not true. That functionality only works if you use the
firefox version right from the firefox folks, the ones from openSUSE
have that functionality disabled. The intent is to publish new RPMs when
new firefoxes become available rather than use the update mechanism
built into firefox itself.
Of course, the update mechanism built-in does work for themes and
extensions.

The SUSE update notifier informs you about updates of the software and Firefox 2.0.0.2 is an official update (at least for openSUSE 10.2). So he was right. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
