So, then, why in the README file does it say:

Troubleshooting:
----------------

* For Solaris 8 builds, you need to install GTK 1.2 library.
You can get the GTK 1.2 libraries from sun.com or sunfreeware.com

* Also for Solaris 8 builds, you may need to install some required
patches.

For example, if you encounter the following error,
ld.so.1: ./firefox-bin: fatal: relocation error: file ./firefox-bin: 
symbol fmod: referenced symbol not found.

You probably have to install Math Library(libm) patch,
Solaris 5.8 sparc: 111721
Solaris 5.9 sparc: 111722
Solaris 5.8 i386 : 112757
Solaris 5.9 i386 : 111728


Reading this made me thing that it wasn't Nevada only.  And, more 
importantly, why doesn't the README just simply specify that it is 
Nevada only?  Or, actually, better, why not make it where it could be 
run anywhere?  The other versions of Firefox are delivered that way.
