I just installed the tarball on a Solaris 10 sparc machine and firefox would not run due to faulty permissions on many files in the distribution after extraction. Must chmod -R a+r . on the top-level directory and set a few execute permissions to get things working. For example, I believe run-mozilla.sh and init.d/S02solaris_patchchecker.sh extracted with 700 permissions.
