Great...

But did unpack them on a Solaris 8 machine and trying to run them on a 
Solaris 10 machine mounting the installation directory read-only from 
the Soalris 8 machine:

% ./firefox
touch: ./.refresh cannot create
cat: cannot open ./.refresh
mkdir: 
"/opt/as/mozilla/firefox/3.0/SunOS-5.10/firefox/depend/etc/pango": 
Read-only file system
mkdir: 
"/opt/as/mozilla/firefox/3.0/SunOS-5.10/firefox/depend/etc/gtk-2.0": 
Read-only file system
./run-mozilla.sh: 
/opt/as/mozilla/firefox/3.0/SunOS-5.10/firefox/depend/etc/pango/pangorc: 
cannot create
%

Why does the installation directory needs to be writeable?
