I have one machine with suse9.3
(my server/firewall/Internet Gateway....)

I also got this update but don't use firefox on that machine very often,
but after reading this, I tested , and it was working fine.

Do ldd /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/firefox-bin
and check if something is missing.

Open aboutlugins and see if your plugins looks ok,
and check the links in /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/

If you can't find the problem, please post the errors.
