Adding the whole mozilla repository is a bit risky, because it does include also the nonstable thunderbird packages ( 2.0betas ).

But yeah. Thanks for the guide. FF2 is a great piece of software.

The easy way to install as root
Code:
rpm -Uvh http://software.opensuse.org/download/mozilla/SUSE_Linux_10.0/i586/MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.1-8.1.i586.rpm
