Hi guys, Thanks all for the feedback. The Firefox 3.0 contributed builds for Solaris 10 have been uploaded to the Mozilla ftp server: pkgadd: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/contrib/solaris_pkgadd/ tarball: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/contrib/solaris_tarball/
There are some changes to these builds to compare with the previous: 1. Add "--enable-official-branding" to the build option. Now it's Firefox, not Minefield. 2. Update the font to make Firefox 3.0 consistent with Firefox 2.0 on Solaris 10. 3. Enable jemalloc developed by Ginn: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422055. It'll decrease the memory footprint for Firefox 3.0. 4. Add "--with-system-jpeg" which should fix the crash issue related to jpeg images. 5. Update the startup script to store the configure files in $HOME/.mozilla/firefox. Now the tarball builds can run on a read-only directory. Please note that all the glib/atk/cairo/pango/dbus/dbus-glib libraries don't change in the new builds: glib 2.14.4 atk 1.20.0 cairo 1.4.12 pango 1.18.3 gtk 2.12.3 dbus 1.1.20 dbus-glib 0.74 The pkgadd users can keep the old ones and just reinstall the Firefox package. BTW, Ginn's performance patches have been applied: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435739 and http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529. The performance improvement is obvious to me. And the latest Flash Player release 9.0.125.0 has fixed the gmail crash issue: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash. Any problem, please feel free to raise it up. Cheers, -Alfred
