You say that in the KDE desktop you have internet, but FireFox is oblivious of it. In order to rule out some issues you can try:

  1. try using konqueror.
  2. go into a terminal and issue the following command:
    ‘ping openSUSE.org’
    If you get 0% loss, you have internet!
  3. go into yast -> network -> network card
    select this and deactivate IPv6 option. Reboot and chances are high that everything works.
