Getting Prism working on OpenSUSE

The reason I updated OpenSUSE 11.1 to 11.2 was that with the update I hoped to get a new version of Firefox that would work with the Mozilla Prism plugin.  This was not the case, and after trying a few hacks surrounding the code the prism apps called (switching from Firefox to xulrunner) I still had no luck.  Finally I stumbled upon the fact that someone is kind enough to be maintaining a beta repository for Mozilla products at OpenSUSE.

I added the repository via zypper

Then I installed Prism via YAST, and now Prism works like a charm!
