I tried installing tumbleweed gnome and Tumbleweed KDE in both situations after the install the last one being KDE when I click on Firefox I get a message not connected to server what to do?
I cannot connect to the server period.
Need lots more info about the setup. Maybe try again and try to provide more detail about your system setup. Under normal setups there is no server associated with Firefox that I know of 
Firefox, chromium and yast cannot connect to the server or internet whatever its a new Tumbleweed install. What more can I offer?
Is there something I missed in the installation Perhaps. Why is it that suse has this install headache and other distros just work?
Well Tumbleweed is rolling thus many changes and some time things break. But probably a driver or other network problem
I run Leap and have no issues. Also still no clue what you mean by connect to the server. What server??
I guess you have no Internet connection thus it makes sense to tell us how you connect? ie by wired or WiFi? also what manager you use, NetworkManager or wicked? Can you ping anything?
Remember we can not look over your shoulder you must supply the info pertaining to the problem exact error message what you do what you expect and what happens.
Also remember openSUSE is open source only (note the name) no proprietary include that you must install yourself if needed
Firefox when opened says server not found. I don’t what else to say but this is the third time I have tried to install tumbleweed and get the same
problem. My guess it may have some thing to do with the ip address or host name. I am about to give up. I really would like to fix the problem
but enough time has been spent, within 15 minutes another distro can be installed and not have the problem. Why is Suse more difficult?

You could tell us which server you are trying to access which apparently
cannot be reached, or if you are trying some default page you could try
something more explicitly, like accessing google.com specificaly.

Could you get us your system’s networking information? IP address,
netmask, default gateway, and DNS servers? The following commands would
get them quickly/easily:
ip a
ip r
grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf
Also doing some networking tests may be useful:
#Test DNS
dig @8.8.8.8 google.com
#Test access to the gateway via ICMP, however that may be invalid
ping <gateway.IP.goes.here>
#Test access to the Internet to see if the route break can be seen
/sbin/tracepath 8.8.8.8

While you’re trying other things, gogalthorp mentioned Leap works; have
you tried that instead of Tumbleweed to see if that works?
The reason other distros may work while what you are trying here does not
are many and varied; different default homepages, different networking
drivers, different firewall settings, etc.

Good luck.
