What's New:
-----------
Fontconfig 2.8.0 or above is required for version > 45.0.
A library of fontconfig 2.8.0 is included in Firefox/Thunderbird
for Solaris 10 contrib build.
For OpenSolaris, you need to install Fontconfig 2.8.0 by yourself.

45.4.0 ESR
Off main thread composition is disabled on Solaris 10 to solve
X hang with drag & drop.


Installation:
-------------
* Tarball format

Extract the tarball to a proper location[1]
$ bzip2 -dc <tarball basename>.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -

[1]: Make sure there is no firefox directory there before you 
extract the tarball, it's not recommended to just overwrite the old 
firefox directory.

* Pkgadd format

1, First uncompress the zip file
$ bzip2 -d <zip file basename>.bz2 
You will get a package datastream file named <zip file basename>

2, Install the package as root
# pkgadd -d ./<zip file basename>
The default install location would be /opt/sfw/lib/firefox

ln -s /path/to/<jave home>/lib/<sparc|i386>/libnpjp2.so
Run Firefox with:

To Enable Flash Player:

Troubleshooting:

"$HOME/.mozilla/firefox" for Firefox and "$HOME/.thunderbird" for 
Thunderbird)

Please apply the fontconfig and Freetype patch.
