After firefox update we stille hava mozilla-xulrunner191 installed but it’s not required anymore. So we can remove mozilla-xulrunner191* packages.
Fisiu,
Yes, you are correct. With Firefox 3.6 if you’ve upgrading using the dup method, all xulrunner packages will be upgraded to 1.9.2.
Which means if you want to keep your machine free of software you don’t need, then remove the previous xulrunner191 versions with:
su -c ‘zypper rm mozilla-xulrunner191*’
Which will then remove all previous versions of mozilla-xulrunner.
Thank you for the comment.
Thank you for shared. I used dup feature it worked.

It’s not required for Firefox 3.6 anymore doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not required for your system anymore though.
I something complains when trying to remove then just keep it please otherwise some other applications may fail.
Please, can you help with installing Firefox 3.6 on openSUSE 11.1?
Yes.. please let me know the problem you are having and I can help get it working.

Hi Richard,
Just replace 11.2 in the instructions to 11.1.

The upgrade didn’t quite work for me: After zypper successfully installed MozillaFirefox 3.6, starting firefox resulted in an error message:
/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.2.0/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_x11_window_get_drawable_impl
Does not work OpenSUSE 9.1
First, I did which zypper – got the o/p as /usr/bin/zypper …..ok so zypper exists
I give the command
su -c ‘zypper http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2/ openSUSE\ 11.2\ Mozilla’
then i enter root password
but I am getting the error message as
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla
/openSUSE_11.2/: ‘zypper: command not found
What could be the problem. I am running Suse 11.2 64 bit OS
If you’re using su -c then you’ll have to actually give the full path to zypper.. So:
su -c ‘/usr/bin/zypper …..’
or su -c ‘`which zypper` ….’
SHould work for you
