Not for FireFox because FireFox is not yet an OpenIndiana package.

You can download a tarball for FireFix from 
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/17.0.1/contrib/solaris_tarball/ 
and extract it into any directory, and then run it from there.  I 
update the /usr/bin/firefox symbolic link to point to where I 
installed firefox so that everything still works.
