[OpenIndiana-discuss] Firefox on OI 151a8 ???

[Jonathan Adams]

I generally stick to the latest ESR version, which is currently 24:

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-esr/contrib/solaris_pkgadd/

I have installed Java JDK 1.7u45 and it's working for me:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

make sure you download the 32bit _and_ the 64bit

jadams at jadlaptop:~/Downloads$ more install-jdk.sh
#!/bin/bash

DIRNAME=$(which $0)
DIRNAME=$(dirname $DIRNAME)
DIRNAME=$(cd $DIRNAME ; pwd)

cd /usr/jdk/instances

/usr/sfw/bin/gtar zxvf $DIRNAME/jdk-7u45-solaris-i586.tar.gz
/usr/sfw/bin/gtar zxvf $DIRNAME/jdk-7u45-solaris-x64.tar.gz

cd ..
ln -s instances/jdk1.7.0_45

rm latest
ln -s jdk1.7.0_45 latest

cd ..
if [ -d java ] ; then
    mv java java.old
    ln -s jdk/latest java
fi

if [ ! -h /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/plugins/libnpjp2.so ] ; then
    mkdir -p /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/plugins/
    cd /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/plugins/
    ln -s /usr/java/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
fi

echo DONE!
