This directory contains Solaris builds of Firefox 6.0.1,
which are contributed by Oracle Solaris Desktop Beijing Team.
If you have any problem with these builds, please send email to 
desktop dash discuss at opensolaris dot org

Installation:
-------------
* Tarball format

Extract the tarball to a proper location[1]
$ bzip2 -dc <tarball basename>.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -

[1]: Make sure there is no firefox directory there before you 
extract the tarball, it's not recommended to just overwrite the old 
firefox directory.

* Pkgadd format

1, First uncompress the zip file
$ bzip2 -d <zip file basename>.bz2 
You will get a package datastream file named <zip file basename>

2, Install the package as root
# pkgadd -d ./<zip file basename>
The default install location would be /opt/sfw/lib/firefox

Troubleshooting:

unexpected crash, try to do this,

"$HOME/.mozilla/firefox" for Firefox and "$HOME/.thunderbird" for 
Thunderbird)

2, Start up the application without importing anything
