Re: Firefox

I'm running FF6.0 on my Sun Blade 1000 (Sol 10) and all is fine. 
Occasionally pages cause FF to bomb, but not too often.
I am in the process of setting up a Blade 2500 (Silver) which I put FF 
7.0 onto and all was fine (Sol 10)
The biggest issue is always getting the right Java plugin and figuring 
out the best place to put it given the jre/jdk convolution of files and 
folders
