Some updates for Firefox 3.0 on Solaris 10. I've got the suggestion that the Firefox 3.0 builds should be made on an early version of Solaris 10 to embrace more users. So I remade the builds on two machines: "Solaris 10 3/05 s10_74L2a X86": http://releases.mozilla.com/sun/firefox-3.0-en-US-solaris-10-fcs-i386-pkg.bz2 "Solaris 10 3/05 s10_74L2a SPARC": http://releases.mozilla.com/sun/firefox-3.0-en-US-solaris-10-fcs-sparc-pkg.bz2
The package list remains the same and both of them are in good shape on my "Solaris 10 5/08 s10x_u5wos_10" x86/SPARC boxes.
