Hi!

So... 3.6.2 is out in the contribs directory :
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.2/contrib/solaris_tarball/

But only in English. If you want to get it in your favorite language
(say German, for example), then nothing simpler... this is what I did :

I installed FF 3.6.2 (en_US from the contribs) by untaring it in
*/usr/local/lib* (it creates a firefox directory) and then *ln -s
/usr/local/lib/firefox /usr/bin/firefox*

I downloaded the German firefox for Linux :
*http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.2/linux-i686/de/firefox-3.6.2.tar.bz2*

I untarred it and got *firefox/chrome/de.jar* and
*firefox/chrome/de.manifest
*
I copied those files to my */usr/local/lib/firefox/chrome* (where there
was already *en_US.jar* and *en_US.manifest*).

Then I started firefox and changed in the about.config page
*general.useragent.locale* to say *de *

And quit (completely :)) firefox and restarted... and it's now in German.

I can change back to english by putting again *en_US* as
*general.useragent.locale *

Note that you will want to copy the contents of /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
to /usr/local/lib/firefox/plugins to get your plugins to work (but DON'T
overwrite libnullplugin.so which should be the proper version from your
3.6.2).

Simple, easy... you'll love it!

Cheers,
Gilles.
