Occasionally I found two different archives for software for OpenSolaris.
The files end with *-pkg.bz2  or with  *.tar.bz2  
Sample:

firefox-4.0.1.en-US.opensolaris-i386.tar.bz2
firefox-4.0.1.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg.bz2

What are the differences?

Are they just packed differently?

Which format is officially recommended/more used?

Can both archives be installed on OS without additional tools?
