updating Mozilla firefox

[goldeneye075]

I am new to Linux operating system, in my computer it has (SUSE/1.5.0.3-7) Firefox/1.5.0.3 installed.
I would like to know how can I update Firefox to the latest version?

[securestep_tech]

Maybe not the best way to do it, but I had to delete the folder from /opt/firefox and then untar the package from firefox.com to the /opt/ directory.

Everything worked fine for me after that.

If it is a recent version you can add the following to your yast sources and then use yast to update.

Index of /repositories/mozilla

Hi ,
It is SUSE/1.5.0.3-7 and Firefox/1.5.0.3 ,

I think it is a old version, because I donot know about linux, I am not going to update my suse version to a higher version, but I am hoping to update the firefox to a new version.
thank you.

Hi I cheaked the link that you have posted.. (Index of / repositories/mozilla)
so what is a reposirory? what does it do? I am useing Suse 1.5.0.3

To my knowledge there never was a Suse 1.5.0.3

Suse versions are not numbered like that. The current version is 11.0 previous version was 10.3,10.2,10.1 10.0 9.3 etc

See if you has an icon on the desk top called my computer. click it under OS information see what the system is. Tell us.

We need to know the Suse version so we can direct you to the correct repository.

I think you are stating the version of Firefox you are using and not the version of SUSE. To find out your version of SUSE, run

cat /etc/*release

Ok 10.1 is no longer fully supported so I'm don't think there is a repository that will have the 3.x versions of Firefox. I could be wrong, if so someone please correct me.
