Thanks for this link! I have this page before, in updating FF on another
machine that runs 11.1, but couldn't find it now for the task at hand
for the 11.2 machine.

Here is the adventure of updating Firefox, and its surprising conclusion:

*****
# zypper addrepo --refresh
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2/ mozilla
Adding repository 'mozilla' [done]
Repository 'mozilla' successfully added
Enabled: Yes
Autorefresh: Yes
URI: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2/

# zypper refresh
Repository 'Mozilla' is up to date.
Repository 'Packman repository (openSUSE_11.2)' is up to date.
Retrieving repository 'mozilla' metadata [done]
Building repository 'mozilla' cache [done]
Repository 'openSUSE-11.2-Debug' is up to date.
Repository 'openSUSE-11.2-Non-Oss' is up to date.
Repository 'openSUSE-11.2-Oss' is up to date.
Repository 'openSUSE-11.2-Update' is up to date.
All repositories have been refreshed.
# zypper install mozilla:MozillaFirefox
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
skipping package 'MozillaFirefox' (the newest version already installed)
Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.

*****

So supposedly all is well. But a look at "About Firefox" shows that what
is there is v3.5.9, not v3.6.3.

Why?
