Update2:
I did a pkgrm SFWfirefox
I then download the tarball version of Firefox 3.53 and extracted it to
/opt/sfw/lib
That's where the pkg version of Firefox 3.53 was installed.
If I run /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/firefox I still experience hangs.
If I run /home/aaron/Desktop/firefox/firefox I get one hang on the
initial flash and then everything works fine.
On the 7 Ultra 20's I have here, all are running
/opt/sfw/lib/firefox/firefox without problems.
Also /opt is a folder on the actual HDD for both the Sunray servers and
the ultra20s
/home is a mount to our NAS.
I don't if that's relevant but I can't think of why
/home/aaron/Desktop/firefox/firefox works
and
/opt/sfw/lib/firefox/firefox doesn't
Anyone got any ideas?

Update:
If I use the pkg'd version of Solaris 3.53 it still hangs on every
piece of flash

I actually just saw some improvement for the first time in years.
Like I said in the past it used to be just videos. It seemed like if
I went to youtube and played a video, the initial video would hang
the browser and once it came back subsequent videos would work on
youtube.com
If I went to vimeo.com the initially played video would hang the
browser and subsequent videos on that site would play fine.
Today I just downloaded the latest Firefox 3.53 build for Solaris 10
x86 and I downloaded the latest flash.
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.5.3/contrib/
I just extracted the tarball to my desktop and put the flash plugin
in the plugins folder.
Now it still hangs when I first load a page with flash but now it
seems subsequent flash pages regardless of domain seem to work fine.
Even video!
I went to my company home page that has a small flash animation,
which did hang the browser for 10 seconds, but then I immediately
went to youtube and hit play on a video and it immediately started
playing. Amazing!! I haven't seen that in 3 years :)
Might be to early to call and I should do more testing but initial
tests show marked improvement.
That initial flash hang will undoubtedly still confuse my users, but
at least it doesn't appear to do that on every single page with flash
now.
I think maybe I might be motivated to rebuild my servers now to the
latest Solaris release and SRSS build. Or maybe I'll be patient and
wait for SRSS 4.2.
I guess next I'll try the actual pkg version of Firefox 3.53 and see
how that works system wide for my users.

Aaron

Hi,
Which version of Firefox is used ? the Mozilla guys fixed
a number of "interesting" bugs that caused firefox
to hang with Firefox 2.0.0.18 latest is 2.0.0.20
I do belive you should upgrade to SRS 4.1 //Lars

Apparently I'm the only one on the planet that can consistently
recreate this problem and have been able to do so for some years
now. I probably emailed this group 2 years ago with the same
problem and I think I just gave up hoping the problem would get
fixed. It has only gotten worse.
We have two offices.
In the one office Firefox with recent versions of Flash works fine
on SunRay servers
In the other office Firefox with recent versions of Flash works but
with problems on SunRay servers.
I used to have the problem where normal flash animations worked. If
I went to Youtube or any other site with flash videos, Firefox
would become unresponsive for anywhere between 30 seconds to 5
minutes. Generally it lasts for a minute or so. If I didn't have 30
users telling me about it everytime it happens I could live with it.
That was with flash_player_9_solaris_r47_x86 and prior.
Now with versions later than flash_player_9_solaris_r47_x86 all
flash animations regardless of how complex they are or whether or
not they have video, make the browser hang.
Only difference between the two server setups is the one office has
local access over the LAN to the ldap server, and the other office
with flash problems accesses the ldap server over an MPLS VPN.
I think when I last tried to report this I was told ldap couldn't
have any thing to do with this, which leaves SunRay software?
I'm in the office with flash sunray problems. In this same office I
have 7 Ultra 20 machines that don't use LDAP for authentication and
obviously don't have any SunRay software installed and they can run
the latest flash_player_10_solaris_r32_18_x86 with no problems.
The affected systems are running Sun Ray Server Software Version
4.0 and Solaris 10 8/07 s10x_u4wos_12b X86.
I would rebuild the servers with SRSS 4.1 and Solaris 10 5/09
s10x_u7wos_08 X86 but I've rebuilt my servers twice with previous
latest versions of Solaris and SRSS now. Neither of those rebuilds
made the problem go away.
When I last rebuilt my servers I tested Flash before installing
SRSS and LDAP auth and Flash worked fine. So in my mind it's gotta
be SRSS or LDAP or both in tandem. I'm no software engineer though :)
