Well I d/l the rpm MozillaFirefox-1.0-2.1.x86_64.rpm and intalled it
with yast. But Firefox still says it's a pre release version...
(Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10)

Also in yast it appears to be the same version of Firefox.

So uninstalled it via yast and then reinstalled the downloaded rpm with
the same results? Any idea why the new version isn't taking?
