Hi James, 

I was so eager to try out FF3.00 but ....

I have seen JDS being stuck were it is for very long time ... I run stock 
Sol10 on AMD64 h/w (Ultra 20M2 workstation) at work and I don't think I would 
be installing opensolaris any time soon.

So I will either have to build FF3.0 or I guess wait until Solaris 10 upgrades 
its own libraries ? Is the latter one a reasonable expectation?


thanks for the reply
Michael

| Nope, not yet.  With effort one can be built against GTK+ 2.10, but
