Thanks to everyone, The reason why I needed the .tar.gz file is that Mozilla are claiming that suse makes modifications to the innate thunderbird application for which I raised a bug report about and was told this advise. This means that I need to verify IF there are any differences in the S/MIME handling of the Mozilla RC and the open suse RC as they have claimed. No wonder that I could not install it - I don't need to. I thought it looked complete, however as you have all seen the number of .sh and .bin files that are labelled upgrade or install you start to question.
Now I know its complete after unpacking. cheers to all Scott Pueblo Native wrote: > Registration Account wrote: > >> Hi everyone, >> This is a seemingly simple question for which I have no answer.
