Firefox under solaris has always been slow. I still use it from time to time, and firefox 3 is a huge improvement over firefox 2. But as far as memory footprint and responsiveness under Solaris, I have been running Opera. Currently running 9.62 and there's just no comparison. Of course, there are a few sites that dont work quite right with Opera. But, anyway, might want to give it a try and see if that doesn't improve your situation. _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
