I recently updated FF 6. to FF 7.0-233.1 using the software distribution app in Yast, however the Updater Applet continues to offer me to update to v3.6.23
“Mozilla Firefox was updated to version 3.6.23, fixing various bugs and security issues.”
It seems to me that I should not be getting this request to update v3.6.23. Is one of the above enabled repositories causing this message?
I don’t know why I have 2 mozilla repositories enabled. Which one is the appropriate one to be enabled?
Is the old version 3 still on my system and causing this message and if so how can I remove this version if it is there - a search for Mozilla in Yast Software Management does not show a version 3.6 installed.
Should I install this patch - I assume it is n/a to FF v7.
I selected to switch the system packages to the versions in the repository.
Several files were downloaded and updated.
I restarted and the updater applet still shows that I need to update to FF v3.6.23.
My zypp history log shows I installed FF v.3.6 manually. Could this be the reason for my problem? That said, I cannot find a firefox on my system other than the latest version - dated 24 Sep.

The needed patches above is the same as shown in the Update Applet except the applet reports it is an update to FF v3.6.23
I am using 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) “release 3”. The applet is called the “online update applet” which is found in the menu path Applications->System -> Desktop Applet -> Online Update Applet
Thanks so much for the help in making my system run better and for all the great work with the screen captures and annotations.
When you say “once a week” I presume that I must start the Software Manager, choose all in the list and update if newer? IE: there is no autopilot with this method.
