Post Installation of firefox 3.6 and greater version in opensuse 10


I am very much desperate to install the firefox 3.6 on opensuse Desktop edition. As my new application software is only supporting 3.6 or greater version of mozilla firefox. i was forced to upgrade or to reinstall my current firefox (version 2.0.0.13). kindly help me and please tell me what is the procedure to install forefox 3.6 or higher version in opensuse 10. i cannot upgrade opensuse 10 to opensuse 11 or 11.3 as my company wont allow me to make modifications in the operating system. i have the latest version of firefox downloaded. the format is tar.gz2 while i am trying to extract it. i find errors in extracting even after extracting successfully i find permission errors. kindly help

OpenSUSE 10 is the oudated 2005 version, and I would strongly recommend installing the current release (11.3) if you want the latest and greatest software.

That being said, have you tried getting the latest firefox from http://mozilla.org ?
