Whem I attempt to install firefox 1.5.0.4 - I have no idea what that means.

You don't need the translations unless you want to use languages other than english. Do this:

rpm -e MozillaFirefox-translations

This will remove the translations pkg and you won't get the dependency issue when you install 1.5.0.4.

HTH

lol, downloading the Translation and Application binaries and a quick rpm -Uhv Mo* would have installed upgraded both binary packages.

Or, like it was said above, just rpm -e MozillaFirefox-trans* and rpm -Uhv MozillaFire*

blah blah.. But I agree.. GUI is nice, but don't get away from command line, there are some VERY good tools in command line, in both Linux and even Windows

Whats all the fuss about the rpm. Just extract the firefox tarball and use that - updates work too.

You should also be able to update very, very easily by starting Firefox (eg, 1.5.0.3) then clicking on Help > Check for Updates

It's automatic after that.

yup it is.
i think you should just download the source and install it or try something like slapt-get which will do the same thing but only automatically.

No, this is not available in Firefox 1.5.2 in linux.

Just install it to your home folder and be done with it, updates wil work just fine. I wouldn't worry about security either nothing should get beyond the home folder and your settings for firefox are there anyways. You will have to edit your shortcuts as well, but from there on it is smoth sailing.

Why Mozilla is not as popular as Firefox?

I copy the rpm files into my home directory, i launched Yast, adding the folder to install source , but it prompts me error, it can't write the Url of the local folder, why?
