Only reason really is that Solaris customers have traditionally asked us for Firefox (and Mozilla before that), and in general we tried to ship and support only one desktop application of each 'type' in JDS. (Thunderbird + Evolution being the main exception.) We have just recently been talking about the possibility of doing Epiphany builds though, so I wouldn't be surprised if you see them in the future.
