Interestingly, I run Solaris 9 (never bothered to upgrade, but I may move 
to 10 one day) and use Firefox 2.0.0.20 since that appears to be the 
latest version for which pre-compiled packages were produced and made 
available quite a long way back now.

I do note that my Toughbook PC's that run WinXp have all wanted to 
download and install FF7 and it does seem to run sort of ok, but with lots 
of tabs open it slows down and eventually locks up.

Never had this happen with 2.0.0.20 on this system (my SunBlade 1000) - it 
just crashes completely when it's had enough and usually will not save any 
of the previous history information to re-load the tabs when I start it up 
again.

Craig.
