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 Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
