Within the Software Management part of YaST2, enter "Firefox" into the search box and click on the "Search" button. Once you have the list of the available Firefox packages listed, these steps should get you v3.6.6: 1, highlight the package "MozillaFirefox" ; 2, in the bottom pane, click on the "Versions" tab so you can see the available versions; 3, select the version 3.6.6-x86_64 from the list of available versions; 4, if the checkbox doesn't change to the icon indicating a package update, right-click on the package and select "Update"; 5, highlight the package "MozillaFirefox-translations-common" and follow steps 2 to 4; 6, click on "Accept" to install the new versions. Then you can sit back and watch as the update takes place.
