Let me make myself clear. I am talking about two machines,
my home machine which is a 32 bit system and my office machine,
which is a 64 bit machine.

Both are running openSUSE 11.1

I am using Yast in all cases.

Both access the openSUSE build service - mozilla repository.

I ASSUME that the home machine accesses the 32 bit repository.
As of this moment that machine shows that the curent Firefox
is version 3.6.6.

This afternoon, about six hours ago, I used my office machine
to access the same repository. I ASSUME it accessed the 64
bit one. That machine showed that the current Firefox is
version 3.5.9.

I am running the 32 bit Firefox 3.6.6 at home with no problems.

I agree with you about

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.1/x86_64/

I was just there and it indeed shows Firefix 3.6.6.

I know it doesn't make any sense, but Yast doesn't find 3.6.6 in
the 64 bit repository.

If you're using GUI Yast, did you click the hyperlink,
"Switch system packages..." ?? If you don't, you'll
continue to see the 3.5.9 packages listed from the
standard openSUSE repo and not the Mozilla one's

I had 3.59 because I had the suse-11.0 mozilla repository in 11.2

All is well now.

Sadly GUI Yast in 11.1 has no such link.
