I made available a firefox package 68esr for testing

Unfortunately for the moment there is a restriction!
There is a setting in /etc/system necessary:

set _userlimit=0x7fffc0000000

whithout this, FF will raise a assertion in JS code.
It sounds as if we need the illumos developers to make the appropriate
change to the illumos kernel or to the linker so that this setting
will not be necessary.  An illumos bug report would be a good starting
point.


As an interim solution we can add an overlay in our illumos-gate build.
/etc/system.d/ would be the right place in my opinion.

Please be patient with me, i don't have much knowledge of the OI
internals.

But i would think of shipping a simple file like
/etc/system.d/firefox_userlimit  with the firefox package,
as users without ff78 won't need this global setting.

(i have

$ ls -l /etc/system.d/sata_auto_online
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         318 Jul  8  2020
/etc/system.d/sata_auto_online
which is a plain file, too )

Just my 2c

Stephan

Sure, this would also be possible. It is a design decission. For me the
Linux compability is the main aspect, firefox being the first app that
needs it.
If more packages will need this (a newer thunderbird will be a hot
candidate) you'll get superfluous files in /etc/system.d.
