Opensuse 10.3 firefox 3.6 upgrade


Hey everbody

I have Firefox 3.6 extracted on my desktop. I do not know how to install it.

I looked at my current firefox and can't find a way to update it.

What can I do?

Thank You

Sam

Firefox 2.0.20 is the latest to work in Suse 10.3.
Suse 10.3 is (very) old.

Please see post # 3 here ..

Thank You for posting that.

The only reason I am having to upgrade firefox is that youtube will not
support it on 3-16-10.

I am waiting for 11.3 to be released in the meantime is there another webbrowser I could use?

10.3 has been the BEST operating system I have ever used.

Thank You

Sam

Yes , the latest newest "Opera" ...

> > opera-10.10.gcc4.shared.qt3.i386.rpm

Works perfect, and I guess, you can use it with youtube too ?

simple way:
download binary http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/product...nux&lang=en-US and copy binary in your home directory.

Another way:

download src.rpm for opensuse 11.x and try build rpm for 10.3

I installed Opera and works like a charm with youtube. For me to run FF 3.6
I will need a new version of OpenSuse. I am looking forward to what 11.3 has to offer. Untill then I am happy with my setup.

Thank You

Sam
