I'm running openSUSE 11.3 on my desktop. A message said I need to upgrade Firefox. I clicked on upgrade and it downloaded a file named "firefox-6.0.2.tar.bz2"
I've extracted the tar file, but can't find a script file to upgrade Firefox. I don't want to mess up the Firefox that's running, so I don't want to blindly run something I'm not sure what it's going to do. I can't find instructions on how to manually upgrade Firefox, and it won't upgrade automatically. What's my next step? Can I get some help?

You currently have the Firefox version that is branded by SUSE and that version would have to be updated via the repositories of that installation.
- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/
- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.3/
You can copy the contents of the tar.bz2 archive to another folder and create a new launcher to start the firefox script in that folder to run that Firefox version with that profile by appending -P "profile_name" to the command field.
You need to create a new profile if you still want to use the Firefox 3.6.x version
