Where is Mozilla IRC Client on SuSE?

I have grown to love the IRC client built into the windows version of the Mozilla web browser. I bring up the browser and put irc:// into the URL drop down box and the IRC client pops up in a seperate window.

However, when I use the Mozilla browser in SuSE 10, it just says "illegal protocol" or something similar. The versions of Mozilla on Windows and SuSE are almost identical.

How so I invoke the IRC client with the Mozilla browser in SuSE?

The windows version of Mozilla is 1.17.12 and the SuSE version is 1.17.11.

How would I upgrade my SuSE version? Should I use that special program in SuSE (it begins with a "y" -- the full name escapes me at the moment) to upgrade from my original distribution CDs or can I go to freshmeat.org and download an RPM file or do I go to the Mozilla site?

Thanks,
Siegfried

It seems that Mozilla goes under *nix without IRC by default. You can either checkout mozilla sources from CVS and compile it as you need (http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs...e_Code_Via_CVS) or loock at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/rt-messaging/chatzilla/, there said you can install ChatZilla if you have already Mozilla installed
