How to Install Firefox on openSUSE 11.4

Well you know that came out a long time firefox 5, but not really new sftware posting until I see that this very stable.

So as I leave they must do to install Firefox 5 in our beloved chameleon :

First add the repository of Firefox to our list of repositories, now I will do so via terminal:

Open a terminal (with alt+F2 if GNOME gnome-terminal, if KDE konsole) and add this line via zypper:

/loquesea># zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.4/i586/ Mozilla

/loquesea># zypper up

If you are using another version of openSUSE may change where it says openSUSE_11.4 by.

[DIR] SLE_11/ 01-Jul-2011 19:42 –
[DIR] SUSE_Factory/ 02-Jul-2011 02:35 –
[DIR] openSUSE_11.1/ 01-Jul-2011 17:53 –
[DIR] openSUSE_11.2/ 01-Jul-2011 19:38 –
[DIR] openSUSE_11.3/ 01-Jul-2011 19:38 –
[DIR] openSUSE_11.4/

After we got out of the package repository:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.4/i586/MozillaFirefox-5.0-5.1.i586.rpm

Now from your terminal go to the folder where the file and run under.

packages were updated, tell them to change their software provider, you select option 1:

Change the vendor

After a while Mozilla Firefox 5 will have in our beloved chameleon.

Firefox on openSUSE 11.4

not use YaST to update your version of Firefox, there is a problem with the repository that lets you update from there, once you install Firefox 5, and then you can update all the packages from YaST
