You have to compile the one from the website yourself.

OR, you can take the easy route and do the following:

There’s more information in the thread if you need it: FireFox 3.5 for openSuse - openSUSE Forums

Forget the file you downloaded. Add the repo quoted.
Then run Updates.

I just add the

/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.1/ respositorie into yast software repositories, click on update but nothing happens.

I don’t know what i’m doing wrong.

What do I have to check to see if I do the corect steps ?

thanks

If you added the repository to software repositories then the command


sudo zypper up MozillaFirefox

will update Firefox to the latest version in the repository.
Good luck.

I added repo and used sudo zypper up MozillaFirefox, but get following result:
linux-h9uz:~ # sudo zypper up MozillaFirefox
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
No update candidate for ‘MozillaFirefox’.
Resolving package dependencies…
Nothing to do.

Any ideas?

zypper lr -d

Read up on zypper usage here. Zypper/Usage/11.1 - openSUSE

I bet the output of the above
zypper lr -d

shows you don’t have the Mozilla repo enabled

It’s either not added, not enabled, or the priorities are not set right.
