Upgrade SuSE 9.1 - > 9.2 works very well. No noticiable problem with this.
A backup is always a good idea, but at Plan-Net, we are so confident in the upgrade process that we don't even take special measures when upgrading SuSE Linux. It is one of the big advantages of SuSE on RedHat, I think.

Install as root into a place that's in the normal PATH, or else add
the path to mozilla-firefox to your $PATH (/etc/profile).
Or to make your life easier, install a package that's ready-made
for your distribution.
    
        
Haven't seen any rpm at all, all I've seen is the tgz.

I might have missed some points here. Serge, are you running SuSE
Linux 9.2 ?
Firefox & Thunderbird are packaged on the distribution CDs of SuSE 9.2
as RPMs and install right well, so why a ".TGZ" ?
Maybe you are running SuSE 9.1, so why not upgrade ? Or maybe not
SuSE, so I misunderstood.
    

I'm presently still using an updated SuSE 9.0, I updated it to 9.1 (I
believe) but haven't taken the time to locate some 9.2 CD/DVD to (re)
install...
I don't feel like going through a full back up and reinstall presently.
(Feels like I'll wait for SuSE 10 before that :-} )
