I can't tell if the problems I'm having are the same problems
reported above.
Firefox 3 in snv_97/snv_98 has several issues.
e.g.

Many of you know Tamarah's husband Ben who has given a presentation at

configuration for compat mode should
I would like to mention one problem though relating
to printing:
as soon as I use CtrP or use the menus to print a
web page, FF3.0.1 FREEZES UP completely.
This is the exact same behavior that I see on OpenSolaris 2008.11 b96

Then upgrade your system to b98 and replace firefox

I did, no change. I actually don't think it is firefox because thunderbird is
