</div>Hi,<br>
Besides installing from FTP contributed Mozilla site (Ginn Chen/Oracle<br>
contribute this), in , like, /opt/sfw/lib/thunderbird or something, of<br>
Firefox 21 or 22<br>
(where 22 does not have HTML5 audio working on Sunos<br>
-Openindiana/Solaris11 and HTML5 works with --enable-pulseaudio on S11,<br>
but pulseaudio still needs packaging for Openindiana<br>
and Ginn have a patch for FF 23 for Sun Audio)<br>
<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=876327" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=876327</a> ,<br>
<br>
There is updated one in Hipster rolling release packages<br>
(<a href="http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster" target="_blank">pkg.openindiana.org/hipster</a>) to 10.0.12 ESR Firefox that can be updated<br>
to from last /dev you have installed<br>
(keep that /dev Boot environment for reference and testing update to a8).<br>
Problems in Hipster currently include flash player crashing on youtube<br>
(works on 151a7).<br>
<br>
To compile Firefox, one needs aether patched Solaris Studio 2010/08/13<br>
or one past 12.3 (requires support contract with Oracle) or using GCC.<br>
(Ginn is using Studio).<br>
If you are interested, we can connect and work together in learning how<br>
to build, send and recieve patches, publish in IPS etc.<br>
