Yeah, I have to provide updated smart packages in my repo, that
repository has moved to the openSUSE Build Service.

These 3 lines will fix it:

smart channel --remove suse-mozilla
smart channel --add suse-mozilla type=rpm-md \
baseurl=http://software.opensuse.org/download/mozilla/openSUSE_10.2/
smart update
