[opensuse] firefox works stable, finally

Hi,

FYI,
since Firefox 2.0 times, I was unlucky and unhappy. I never could use
firefox stably on Linux.

Any cure like disabling extensions and creating new profiles, and
following the mozilla hints to stabilize firefox was done, to no avail.
Instaed the "would you like to restore the previous session" box made my
life more "colorful"

Since the last suse build on my 32bit Box, ff could never survive 10
Minutes of surfing the web.

I got so frustrated that I for one changed to opera and secondly deleted
all the suse firefox stuff and installed the new 2.0.0.3 release
directly from mozilla.com.

What can I say, now after a full day of surfing the the web with
mozillas firefox and another full night of downloading a few GB of
downloads (the latter was just for testing, normally I do not use
firefox for such things), I am still using the very same incarnation of
firefox that I started yesterday!

A definitive improvement and much more related to the linux reputation
of being rock solidly stable. ;-))

Recommended to anyone having similar problems with firefox.

kind regards
Eberhard
