I'm assuming that we are close to having firefox4 in the tree as
firefox.   It can't be too soon.  I have not found any drawbacks to it
in the couple weeks of testing.

Unfortunately, it still goes crazy like the older versions and eats 100%
of the CPU for no apparent reason.

Otherwise it's no worse than 3.x was.

Ummm... does it support Java?  There were some issues with newer versions
of firefox requiring newer versions of the JDK which have not been
ported/updated.
Use java/openjdk6:

For various reasons, unless there are no other options, I would prefer to use Solaris JDK as then I would have one consistent Java version on a slew (i.e. - more than I want to think about)
systems that I would have to update, test, etc.etc.etc.
