Hey Malte, I'm not sure what the solution to this is. It looks like `gconf2` is needed to do some things, but maybe not all? Have you tried removing the [package here](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/python/mozboot/mozboot/opensuse.py#26) and seeing what happens? Maybe you'll still be able to build and run Firefox, but maybe not run some tests/static analysis. I did find this: https://software.opensuse.org/package/gconf2 which has `gconf2` distributions for Tumbleweed, but not I'm not sure if `gconf2` == `gconf2-devel`, so that may just be a dead end. If opting to not install the package on Tumbleweed does allow for some things to work, we can probably add a conditional there to only install it on Leap. If neither of those paths help then we're in a bit of a pickle. Based on one of the [lines here]: `"This package is for legacy applications and no longer used by GNOME."` it sounds `gconf2` is old and no longer maintained, so getting the maintainer(s) to release a package for Tumbleweed might not be possible. If that's the case, then Firefox just can't be built on openSUSE Tumbleweed (for the time being). Not until `gconf2` gets replaced on our end and we no longer have the dependency.
