Why are you unable to use YaST? Is there an error message you can post? Which rpm is it and from where did you get it?

You can use YaST, kpackage, smart, rpm and a few others. Any of these will install a SuSE rpm in such away that the rpm data base is updated. You can even all of these on the same machine.

I doubt it is an RPM.

You can extract the package, and put it in /opt/firefox
