@C7NhtpnK bp == backports
https://src.opensuse.org/products/PackageHub#leap-16.0
Yes, of course! So far, all good.
I moreover meant: what does it actually mean in comparison to not--bp? So, what are the properties and qualities of each (against each other)?
Well, thank you! But what does this tell me?
They are the openSUSE Community packages that supplement SLE and Leap, the rest are from SUSE…
- versions numbers with “160000” are from SUSE
- versions numbers with “bp160” are from openSUSE

@malcolmlewis Thank you very much!
Er, additionally: I have seen
-lp160.-160000.-bp160.
on Leap 16.0. So, what is actually to say, now?
openSUSE, look at the vendor info…
what/where, please?
Use the likes of zypper if <somepackage> | grep -E "Version|Vendor"

Er, sorry, no. I have already got that, before. Thank you.
I mean:
You said:
I said:
What do they mean? — There is (my) lp160. in addition to your -160000., -bp160, already before.
So:
This way:
details for all of them and they all compared to each other?
Sorry. And Thank you.
So the bp ones are shared between SLE and openSUSE Leap as in SLE users can add PackageHub as a repository and use without it impeding SLE product support.
These are selected by SUSE and requested to be included to the openSUSE maintainers of said packages or maintainers can push to backports.
The lp ones are just for openSUSE.

This morning there was a big update for Leap 16, in my case more than 100 packages.
MozillaFirefox and MozillaThunderbird were both updated to version 140.12.0.

I’m not sure what’s your point.
Yes, I see a similar message if I click Help → About Firefox
The opensuse builds of firefox-esr are available for Leap and for Tumbleweed. For Tumbleweed, it is in the mozilla development repo. Perhaps the line “Firefox for openSUSE” would have been less confusing if it had said “Firefox for openSUSE - Leap”. However, I’m not seeing any reason to suspect a problem.

There is a libreoffice PR for 16.0, but is unresolvable atm

As far as I understand, that’s something related to the branding package missing an update to announce Leap 16 series instead of Tumbleweed, right?

Waiting several days for a Firefox update is going to become more problematic soon: groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/dev-platform/c/qlaQ1YSlOP8
So, it might be interesting to look at this: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-rpm-package-for-opensuse-and-suse-linux-recommended
