A HOWTO for installing Google Talk on SUSE Linux for Firefox :
32 bit Code:
mkdir goog; cd goog wget http://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-talkplugin_current_i386.deb ar vx google-talkplugin_current_i386.deb sudo tar xvzf data.tar.gz -C /
64 bit Code:
mkdir goog; cd goog wget http://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-talkplugin_current_amd64.deb ar vx google-talkplugin_current_amd64.deb sudo tar xvzf data.tar.gz -C /
Then restart Firefox.
After you restart firefox, in the Tools -> Addons -> Plugins tab, you’ll see google talk. And yes, it should now work!
