The builds under this direct is firefox builds for solaris.
If you encounter any problem with the builds, please send
email to mozorg-builds@sun.com

Notice:
-------
Since there was a critical crash bug(see below) in the 
original Solaris 8/10 sparc builds, we made the respin 
builds(respin_b) to fix it and put them under the same
contribute directory

Bug fixed in respin_b build,
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334464 

Installation:
-------------
Goto the directory where you want to install this build.
Make sure there is no firefox directory there.
Just recover the old firefox directory is not suggested.
Unpack the package.
$ bzip2 -dc [package name].tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
Then go to the install directory and run ./firefox.
If you want to just type "firefox" to start the release,
you can add it to PATH of setup a symbol link to /usr/bin.
$export PATH=<install directory>:$PATH
- or -
#ln -s <install directory>/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

To Enable Java:
---------------

cd <firefox directory>/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

To Enable Flash/Shockwave:
--------------------------

Download the Flash/Shockwave plugin from:

http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Intel&P3_Browser_Version=Netscape4&P5_Language=English

Uncompress and untar it and place the files into the

Troubleshooting:
----------------

* For solaris 8 builds, you need to install GTK 1.2 library.
The GTK 1.2 libraries can be got from sun.com or sunfreeware.com

* Also for solaris 8 builds, you may need to install the patches required.
If you can not start up firefox with the following error

ld.so.1: ./firefox-bin: fatal: relocation error: file ./firefox-bin: symbol fmod: referenced symbol not found.

You may need to add Math Library (libm) patch.
Solaris 5.8 sparc: 111721 
Solaris 5.9 sparc: 111722
Solaris 5.8 i386: 112757 
Solaris 5.9 i386: 111728

You may have more than one libm library in your system.
Please make sure that you are using the one in /usr/lib.
Compiler may also have one libm library, please do not use that one.

* If you just can not start up or encount some unexpect crash, try to do this.

Back up your "$HOME/.mozilla/firefox"
Remove this directory.
Start up the application without import anything.
